The meeting aimed to host a ceremony for the official presentation of the Alliance of African National Commissions and Learning Cities and of the Foundation, to convene the first meeting of the Board of Directors, to celebrate Africa Day, and to adopt the Rabat Declaration on Lifelong Learning in Africa. This initiative, in line with the High Royal Directives promoting South–South cooperation in the fields of education, science, and culture, originated from a partnership between the National Commissions of Morocco and Côte d’Ivoire. It was later expanded to include eight additional African countries, and eventually grew to encompass 33 member states. The Alliance played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Foundation, officially created on 29 February 2024. Its missions focus on the formulation of policies, strategies, and action plans related to lifelong learning in Africa, with particular emphasis on digital transformation.
