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.

JSI partnered with Zambia’s Ministry of Health and local partners to improve access to quality, integrated health services and accelerate progress towards HIV epidemic control. We provided HIV treatment services to over 80,000 people, achieving 98% viral suppression. By supporting the rollout of oral PrEP and CAB-LA to expand prevention choice and access across over 200 clinics and community platforms, 194,000 new PrEP users enrolled nationally over three years. To strengthen pandemic preparedness, we equipped teaching hospitals with liquid oxygen systems to improve critical care capacity and supported the national COVID-19 response, contributing to vaccination coverage reaching 70% of eligible Zambians.
