D3.4 Inventory of Capacity Building Resources and Ready to Use Training Material

The work package (WP) 3 of the AfriConEU project aims to design and develop the AfriConEu Networking Academy and its two flagship programmes on Capacity Building for African DIHs and Partnership Building between African and European DIHs. A series of subprogrammes will be designed to meet the needs of the African DIH, as well as promote Africa-Europe collaborations.

This WP is, then, dedicated to the creation of the two Flagship Programmes in terms of content and structure development, as well as in terms of the tools that will be utilized for delivering them. The AfriConEU Networking Academy, through its two flagship programmes, will therefore provide resources, knowledge sharing and joint project development opportunities to African and European DIHs as well as other stakeholders of the digital economy including the African Diaspora Communities.

Furthermore, for the development of these sub-programmes, partners will utilize existing knowledge and lessons learned as well as content from other training programmes developed for DIHs both in Africa and Europe. In fact, existing capacity building programmes for DIHs were previously identified and further scanned (see D2.2 - Online database with DIHs Capacity Building programmes), and the most appropriate contents were selected for further elaboration, adaptation, and localisation to meet African DIHs needs.
