The learning opportunity was shared by the Professor Isa Pantami Foundation (PIP Foundation) as part of its ongoing commitment to promoting education, empowerment, and community development across Africa. The foundation noted that access to global learning platforms such as this aligns with its goal of building capacity and expanding knowledge opportunities for Africans.
The course is delivered through the World Bank Group’s learning platform, further reinforcing the institution’s role in supporting skills development and evidence-based policymaking worldwide.
