This report draws on a survey conducted in 2021 by the Mawazo Institute, a nonprofit research institute based in Nairobi, Kenya. The survey aimed to determine the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Africa's higher education and research sector in the year after lockdowns and restrictions first began, and thus to provide a more comprehensive follow up to an earlier Mawazo Institute survey conducted in 2020. Full findings, along with an interactive map displaying regional differences in key results, are available at https://mawazoinstitute.org/publications.
