Partnerships
TaRL Africa has worked hand-in-hand with the Ministry of Education, VVOB and UNICEF since Catch Up’s inception.
Together with partners we are supporting the Ministry of Education to:
- Scale-up TaRL nationally
- Strengthen the capacity of the MoE to lead and institutionalise the approach to ensure ongoing quality implementation
- Support the government to integrate program costs into national budgets
- Integrate all elements of the program into existing government structures
