How can private players help shape higher education in Africa and set an example for raising the quality of teaching and learning? A new IFC Case Study on Ashesi highlights the university as a blueprint and captures its evolution from a startup to a force multiplier setting an example for others.
Ashesi established a formal relationship with the IFC in 2009 when the Bank provided financing to construct student housing. The University has become one of the IFC’s highest impact investments in education.
