It fosters collaboration among teachers, teacher trainers, and policymakers in Sub-Saharan Africa and establishes strategic and technical partnerships with Europe. The Facility is implemented by Expertise France Enabel, VVOB, APEFE and EDUFI.
We are pleased to announce the two calls for proposals. aiming to support initiatives led by public and non-state actors to enhance teacher education and professional development in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Call for Proposals 1 (“Innovative Solutions for Teacher Education”) managed by Enabel/Wehubit focusses on identifying and supporting the scaling-up of innovative solutions to enhance the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of initial and continuous teacher professional development.
The Call for Proposals 2 (“Support to teachers in crisis contexts”) managed by Expertise France addresses the acute challenges faced by educators in fragile and crisis settings affected by conflicts, displacements, or natural disasters, where teachers must adapt pedagogical methods, manage stress and trauma, and work with limited resources.
