In Sub-Saharan Africa, local governments and NGOs alike have invested millions in developing solutions to increase access to quality education for Africa's young people--the majority of whom attend overcrowded, understaffed schools. But what if the tools to solve Africa's education challenge already exist? Slides from live webinar event 3/17/15 with Peggy Mativo, founder, PACE. Brought to you with support from Laureate International Universities and the American Express Foundation, this webinar is part of YouthActionNet's Living Leadership Series, designed to equip emerging leaders with the knowledge and tools to tackle the world's toughest challenges.
