Engage with territories across Africa as outbound student mobility continues to grow

For 2024, ICEF Africa heads to Kigali, Rwanda, for a specialist networking event that connects international education institutions, eager to expand and diversify their student body, with international student recruitment agents and relevant service providers from across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Sub-Saharan Africa continues to show exceptional growth in terms of international education, with Nigeria consistently ranking in the top ten countries worldwide for outbound student mobility. Alongside Nigeria, Kenya has a rapidly expanding “youth bulge”, with 25% of the Kenyan population between the ages of 18-36, while Ghana, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Tanzania, and Rwanda have all seen significant increases in student interest in study abroad.

Held at ​​the Kigali Convention Centre from 02-04 July 2024, ICEF Africa provides valuable access to this important range of student markets, and a unique opportunity to network with high-quality, pre-screened recruitment partners from across the region.
