Partner with us

The Foundational Learning crisis is too large and too urgent for any government or organisation to solve alone.

HCA believes that substantial knowledge, evidence and implementation capability already exist across Africa and globally. Our role is not to duplicate the work of capable organisations. We help connect evidence, leadership, government priorities and partners so that proven approaches can be adopted, implemented and sustained at scale.

Why partner with HCA?

Partnering with HCA offers:

  • Access to a credible African-led platform focused on political action and accountability.
  • Relationships with national, subnational and continental education leaders.
  • The ability to translate evidence into compelling messages for decision-makers and the public.
  • Practical experience linking high-level commitments with local implementation and review.
  • Data and accountability tools that help identify gaps and track progress.
  • A collaborative approach that elevates capable partners rather than competing with them.

  • Evidence synthesis and knowledge translation.
