Our vision is a world where all children have access to high quality education. In order to realise that vision we work in partnership with other members of the Link group to develop and deliver innovative projects that promote access to quality education in Ethiopia.
Our strategic aims are as follows:
•To develop the skills of the woreda education offices and zone departments of education so that they are better equipped to support schools and communities for improved performance
•To build the capacity of teachers so that they are more capable of creating conditions for effective learning
•To develop strong, well functioning school management and governance structures, with supportive links to wider community and local kebele / woreda government
•To build capacity at all levels to use data effectively to inform planning and decision-making
•To support government education policy by using lessons learnt at the grassroots level to inform education development strategies and education sector review
•To facilitate educational partnerships for mutually beneficial development and learning.
