Engeza

Engeza is a technical assistance (TA) hub supporting foundational literacy and numeracy programmes across Sub-Saharan Africa. Working in partnership with the Gates Foundation, EDT’s role is to manage the $1.5 million Engeza fund and operate the hub.

The aim of Engeza is to improve foundational learning at scale. It is based on the understanding that targeted, specialist TA is key to designing, implementing, and maximising the impact of large-scale foundational learning programmes. Engeza supports government agencies and education development partners through TA assignments lasting from one to 12 months. For each assignment we develop the scope of work, appoint and deploy specialist TA providers, and embed a quality assurance function.
