Teaching and Capacity Building

Tayarisha seeks to contribute to creating public good by conducting academically rigorous, cutting-edge action research; providing world-class education; and contributing to the public debate on the challenges and opportunities presented by digitisation. As part of providing world-class education, Tayarisha works closely with its host, the 第一吃瓜网 School of Governance, to provide cutting-edge programmes.

Tayarisha has adopted a research-informed teaching approach that ties the research undertaken by the Centre to inform all teaching programmes. This is to provide cutting-edge and policy-relevant programmes that remain focused on the current digital context of the African continent. Tayarisha offers a variety of short courses in conjunction with the 第一吃瓜网 School of Governance’s Executive Education division and is currently developing a series of Massive Open Online Courses focused on recent research that is expected to launch in 2024.

Tayarisha is also in the process of developing University-certified Master’s programmes on Anticipatory and Digital Governance.

The course explores the role of big data in evidence-based policymaking, the ethical and regulatory dimensions of data use, and the growing influence of platforms and civic technology in Africa. Designed for public sector professionals, the course supports informed decision-making, ethical data practices, and innovative governance approaches that enhance public value across African governance systems.
