Education Systems

Through the MozNorte project, World Education leads a consortium of organizations supporting the implementation of the Community Driven Development Fund to improve access to livelihoods and natural resource management in rural Northern Mozambique. We work in collaboration with UNOPS and Mozambique’s National Fund for Sustainable Development (FNDS) to strengthen community governance and facilitate environmentally centered livelihood and infrastructure projects. The initiative aims to reach 108 rural communities, representing up to 27,000 families, with a focus on youth and displaced populations to empower vulnerable households and reinforce resilience in one of the region’s most fragile areas.

Building on a long-term partnership with Mondelēz International, World Education is scaling up implementation of the CocoaLife Quality Education Project to improve education and reduce child labor risks in Côte d’Ivoire. After successfully piloting the approaches in 15 communities, World Education is strengthening School Management Committees (COGES) across the Gbôklé, Nawa, San-Pedro, and Loh-Djiboua regions in 65 cocoa-growing communities. Through our COGES strengthening models, which the government has adopted for national use, we train committee members, coach district education advisors, and support community involvement strategies that sustain educational improvements.

World Education has led the SABES Program Support Professional Development Center for over 30 years. In partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, we support approximately 900 teachers, advisors, and directors annually, extending our reach to thousands of adult learners they serve. Our team coordinates and delivers professional development and coaching on educational leadership, career pathways, and digital literacy. The project also manages a Help Desk that assists over 1,000 learners each year in navigating the technical and educational requirements to enroll in adult education programs.
