The workshop from 9th till 10th of October was about planning an E-learning certificate on Research and Innovation for Sustainable Land Management in Africa. The workshop brought together content producers and moderators of the e-certificate to plan the moderated sessions as part of the E-Learning experience and the actual roll out of the e-certificate at University of Environment and Sustainable Development (UESD) in Ghana in 2025.
The objective of the E-learning course is to provide an extracurricular qualification in Research and Innovation in Sustainable Land Management through practical content. The content will be based on the research outcomes, methods, and contributions of the four BMBF-funded regional projects and interfaces within the call “Sustainable Land Management in Sub-Saharan Africa: Improving Livelihoods through Local Research.” The course is structured into six modules, covering topics such as the evolution of land governance in Africa, gender and land management, as well as research and innovation.
„This workshop represents a milestone in our planned activities for the INTERFACES project. It will define the actual implementation of the E-learning certificate at UESD, a key step in our project. Moreover, it will bring together all partners involved in this joint venture for the first time, marking a significant moment in our progress. We are looking forward to this collaboration and to implementing it next year.”
A series of sessions on “e-teaching” has been prepared in cooperation with the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) library. The Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) will present the online Learning Management System for the roll out of the e-certificate in 2025.
The e-certificate is developed under INTERFACES project through a collaboration between International Centre for Sustainable Development (IZNE) at H-BRS and UESD, FARA as well as West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL). During the workshop further collaboration with University of Development Studies (UDS) located in Tamale, Ghana will be explored. Representatives of all organisations are participating in the workshop.
