Research program

Arab-Islamic education in the Sahel remains poorly understood, despite being a key component for grasping and managing the region’s education systems. This research project, entrusted to IRD, aims to improve knowledge about this educational offering, its learners, and how it is addressed by public policies—ultimately to inform the decisions of policymakers in the Sahel region.
