What factors affect school performance in Mainland #Tanzania?
👩🏾🏫 Teachers’ level of education
🏫 The location of schools
📚 Access to textbooks, bathrooms, & facilities
Read our NEW #DataMustSpeak report to understand the different factors that can improve school performance!
Tanzania Mainland lies between 10 and 120 south of equator and between 290 and 410 east of the Greenwich Meridian. It shares a border with Kenya and Uganda to the north and Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia to the south.
In Central Mozambique, Plan International is working with authorities and communities to rebuild schools that were wrecked by Cyclone Idai a year ago. At this school in Beira district, 14 classrooms were damaged or destroyed forcing 3,000 children to miss school for a month. Plan International stepped in to provide tarpaulins to create temporary classrooms so the children could resume classes.
Plan International started work on rebuilding the formal classrooms, eight have so far been completed and six are being worked on. Construction work follows the Build Back Better approach, guidelines created by UN Habitat which aim to ensure that buildings are disaster resilient.

Education is the key to life, and to unlock the full potential of our students, we need motivated and inspired teachers. That's where KiuFunza (Thirst to Learn) comes in.
#KiuFunza is a cost-effective program designed and developed in Tanzania to improve learning outcomes. It provides cash incentives to public school teachers in Tanzania based on the learning outcomes of students in their classes.
Currently, the program is making significant strides in enhancing foundational reading and numeracy skills in 265 primary schools in #Tanzania, thanks to support from the Hempel Foundation.
This phase targets low-performing schools chosen from the poorest-performing regions and districts with the lowest Standard 4 National Assessment results. Since its inception in 2013, the program has already distributed Tsh 1.6 billion, benefiting over 5,000 teachers and impacting the lives of more than 200,000 students.

1st Learning Reconnect during TAL journey: Ndifuna Ukwazi
1st Learning Reconnect was about urban justice. In Bertha House (Bertha Spaces), the session was held by Ndifuna Ukwazi: this NGO works to broaden access to well-located land and affordable housing.
Now let me share my notes from the session:
“There is a reverse densification in Cape Town, inside out.
Dispossession, eviction, and displacement driven by racist ideology have shaped South Africa as a country and Cape Town as a city.
How to resist eviction and displacement: advocacy and communication to shift damaging public narratives about homelessness, landlessness, and displacement.
How to gain equitable access to urban land and housing: identifying public land appropriate for affordable housing.”
After the session, the in-country staff asked those brainstorming questions for TALits:
What will you apply from today’s session in your country or cohort?
How does your country address these issues?

The built environment is an ecosystem of opportunities and challenges that influence how a society lives, and cities are an important and powerful platform in shaping how a community can function.
Today, my key highlight at the REFF was learning about cities of life, cities of work and blended purpose cities.
Listen in, and let me know what you think of the approach, I think it's a great opportunity waiting to be unlocked in Kenya, and Africa.

Dharura developed a 3-day course to support emergency departments and their staff to break barriers and implement changes at work through simulations and debriefing, case review, group discussions and role plays adapted to their context.
Look at the video to see the Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital (our original partner in Laikipia County - Kenya) in action:

Today we are celebrating #WorldWaterDay 💦
In Uganda, over 19 million people lack clean water close to home, while 49% of Zambia's rural population relies on unsafe water sources. These challenges disproportionately impact the rural and vulnerable communities that PEAS works in.
PEAS schools are constructed with boreholes to ensure students and teachers have easy access to safe and clean water. PEAS schools share access to their boreholes with the local community. This not only expands access to safe water but also fosters positive relationships between the school and its community.
Positive community relationships are vital for PEAS schools. Parents and communities play a crucial role in encouraging children to attend and actively engage in school and support their learning.
