Since the launch in 2022, the site, which has more than 450 learning resources, has attracted 50,000 learners from more than 190 countries. Content has grown to include a wide range of video-based and blended learning courses, how-to videos, toolkits, documents, and podcasts.
Topics address AKF’s focus areas, such as Work and Enterprise and Climate Resilience, with practical real-world examples that can be applied in almost any setting.
Learners span the professional spectrum from community leaders and entrepreneurs intent on organizational development, to teachers looking for learning materials to promote gender equity and climate resilience, and lifelong learners interested in adding a certificate or an accredited course to their profile. The number of externally accredited courses continues to grow.
Some of the most popular courses include “Climate Challenge: Be Part of the Solution”, “Facilitating Adult Learning” and “Proposal Development”.
