The Institute also builds networks of programmes and institutions throughout Africa to share knowledge, resources, facilities and experience.
In addition to its headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, IICBA runs two regional centres: one is located within the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Education in Dakar, Senegal, and the other within the University of Pretoria in South Africa.
