The General History of Africa (GHA) is a UNESCO initiative seeking to tell the history of the continent from an African perspective. For centuries, the historical narrative of Africa has been shaped largely by external and skewed perspectives. The GHA initiative addresses this imbalance by reconstructing the continent’s rich and diverse past through African voices, its research, and knowledge systems. Over the years, UNESCO has gathered more than 550 African and international experts to write a pioneering corpus of research culminating with the publication of eleven volumes, and developed global educational resources: through a set of practical tools based on the GHA vision and content, UNESCO works with education stakeholders at the regional and national levels — in Africa and beyond — to help mainstream the GHA into formal, non-formal and informal education.
