ROER4D Sub-project 1 - Sub-Saharan Africa review

The ROER4D project endeavours to cover at least three regions in the Global South, namely, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South and South East Asia. However, background information on OER projects, policies and research and information on infrastructural, legal, socio-cultural and/or economic factors that might influence the adoption of OER in post-secondary education in these regions is incomplete despite the work of current projects. The project will provide background information on infrastructural, legal, socio-cultural and/or economic factors that might influence the adoption of OER in post-secondary education for the researchers involved in the ROER4D sub-projects and the final ROER4D meta-analysis. This desktop review aims to provide an overview of OER projects, policies and research in Sub-Saharan Africa as of the period 2013-2014.
