Goal 1

To increase awareness among country leaders and influencers in SSA about the need, and what works, to improve FLN outcomes.

Goal 2

 To increase commitment among country leaders to improve FLN outcomes, demonstrated through adoption of appropriate policies and allocation of resources.

Goal 3

Ensure that data and evidence is central to our advocacy

We understand the power data and evidence can have in driving reform. There is ample evidence in the ecosystem about what works to improve foundational learning in LICs and LMICs. We will leverage it at every step to ensure that the ‘right’ reforms are implemented.

Ensure collaboration and leverage partners in the ecosystem efficiently

HCA is driven by the philosophy that sufficient resources (knowledge and data) already exist in the ecosystem and there are other qualified partners that are already leading meaningful work. We aim to bring those efforts together to amplify their impact.

Led by local capacity and leadership

Our leadership and our organization are deeply rooted in Africa. We plan to develop local capacity to lead and implement this work.
