Our Values

Our values guide everything that we do.

We are:
  • Evidence-driven

    • We are driven by data and evidence to find what works best, building an evidence alliance for education in sub-Saharan Africa. 

    • Through gathering insights from those we work with – from students, to university leaders, employers and policymakers – we have something new to say and get the right results. 

    • We communicate clearly and with conviction, ensuring data and evidence can be used by those who need it. 

    • We act professionally, creating evidence-based solutions so that young people achieve their ambitions and society is strengthened. 

     

  • Solutions-focused  

    • We seek the highest impact for young people and educators in sub-Saharan Africa with the cost- effective funds we invest. 

    • We evolve quickly to ensure our work stays relevant for young people.  

    • We measure our results and use our resources efficiently, earning credibility with our partners and investors.   

    • We know that change takes time, we focus on solving complex but urgent issues to maximise the difference we make for people in sub-Saharan Africa. 

  • Strengthening trust

    • We are accountable to young people and educators in sub-Saharan Africa.  

    • We prioritise inclusion and see strength in working across different cultures. 

    • We strive to create supportive environments, building trust with the communities we work with.  

    • We work towards positive social change, telling our story with integrity and humility.

  • Always learning

    • We listen and learn from people’s first-hand experiences about education and work across sub-Saharan Africa. 

    • We bring fresh perspectives by joining-up those who share our passion to learn, through our practical step by step approach. 

    • Everyone’s opinion is valuable, we develop solutions through teamwork. 

    • We are not afraid to both succeed and to fail, learning through experience and our curious nature.
