About ERNWACA NIGERIA

The Educational Research Network for West and Central Africa [ERNWACA], also known as  Réseau Ouest et Centre African de Recherche en Education [ROCARE], was established in 1989 in Freetown, Sierra Leone by USAID.  Her core mission was to bring together West and Central African researchers in education to conduct knowledge-based educational research for improving educational practice and formulating evidence-based policies in the sub-region. It is now generally acknowledged that ERNWACA/ROCARE has emerged as one of West and Central Africa’s preeminent institutions in Educational Research.
