Professional Education in Sexology in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Continental Survey.

This mixed-methods study examined the status of sexology education in 11 Sub-Saharan African countries and found significant gaps in curriculum standardisation, accreditation, and postgraduate training opportunities. Sexual health education remains fragmented across related disciplines, with limited focus on broader issues such as sexual dysfunction, diversity, and psychosexual wellbeing. Key barriers included stigma, religious and political sensitivities, resource constraints, and weak institutional support, while emerging regional initiatives offered promising models for progress.
