			''Africa'' is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after [[Asia]]. At about 30,221,532 km² (11,668,545 sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area, and 20.4% of the total land area. With more than 1,022,234,00 people (best guess as of 2010) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the [[Mediterranean Sea]] to the north, the Suez Canal and the [[Red Sea]] to the northeast, the [[Indian Ocean]] to the southeast, and the [[Atlantic Ocean]] to the west.

	~~With more than 900~~,~~000,000 people (as of 2005)~~ in ~~61 territories~~, ~~it accounts for about 14% of the world's human population~~.		There are 46 countries including [[Madagascar]], and 53 including all the island groups. For countries and other entities in Africa, see [[:Category:Africa]].

			[[Policies Survey]] notes:

	~~== ICT~~ in education ~~policies ==~~		:In [[Africa]], countries appear to be most active in tertiary education, with 29% of respondents noting most OER activity in that subsector.

	~~'''References'''~~		:Several [[South Africa]]n institutions are reportedly involved in OER projects. For example, the University of the Western Cape is a member of the OpenCourseWare (OCW) Consortium and runs its own OpenCourseWare projects, the South African Institute for Distance Education (Saide) runs the OER Africa initiative and the Department of Basic Education manages the education resource portal (Thutong) with free and open resources for schools.

	* Farrell, ~~Glen~~ and ~~Shafika Isaacs. 2007. Survey~~ of ~~ICT~~ and ~~Education~~ in ~~Africa: A Summary Report, Based on~~		:In [[Namibia]], there is no national OER strategy but the Namibian Open Learning Network Trust (NOLNET) is pursuing the development and expansion of OER following the second National Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Conference, whose theme was “OER and the opportunities for expanding ODL,” in October 2011. In addition, the Namibian College of Open Learning worked with COL to produce OER in five subject areas under the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation/COL OER for Open Schools project (OER4OS). These materials are due to be released in 2012.

This experience has allowed the country to develop most of its school-level materials in an electronic format and make them available as OER. Zambia identifies this initiative as responding to the challenge of supplying material to schools and other educational institutions.

			:Countries such as [[Mauritius]], [[Botswana]] and [[Seychelles]] appear to be involved in the OER movement through projects such as the OER4OS project and the Virtual University of Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC) programme. Other OER projects mentioned are run through donor funding, as well as one ministry-supported teacher-level project in Seychelles.

			:Other countries responding to the questionnaire are not yet active in the OER movement or appear to be in the early stages of OER adoption.

			: For example, in [[Rwanda]], OER are largely the initiative of individuals who use them to enhance educational materials at the higher education level. In [[Nigeria]], the National Teachers’ Institute presented a memorandum entitled Promoting the Use of OER for Quality HE Delivery in 2011, and it was expected that this will be ratified in 2012. However, some countries that are not yet active expressed great interest in OER. For example, [[Tanzania]] noted that it would consider adopting an OER strategy or policy.
