We look for partners in the relevant fields that vary in size and scope, from international to local, small to large, and emerging to established organizations.

The results of monitoring and evaluation provide valuable lessons that are used to increase our impact.
Guiding principles
We are guided by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4, aimed at "quality education, ensuring equal access to quality education and promoting lifelong learning for everyone".
