Evidence snapshot for Benin
Benin has pursued multiple digital inclusion and educational reforms in recent years. Community Digital Points deployed 43 subsidised internet and training centres across 43 communes (reaching a government-estimated but unaudited 1 million+ people), while reserved parliamentary seats for women increased female representation in the National Assembly from 7.2% to 25.7% following a 2019 electoral code reform. The STEPS project used AI to produce 28 science textbooks for primary schools, with 94% of participating teachers reporting increased confidence in teaching science and Benin's Ministry of Education initiating formal approval for national adoption.
