Over the next three weeks, we will take you to the rural heartlands of Côte d’Ivoire, where new schools are taking shape, brick by brick, through a powerful alliance between the Government of Côte d’Ivoire, 16 cocoa and chocolate companies, and two philanthropic foundations.
This collective effort, under the Child Learning and Education Facility (CLEF), is advancing a bold vision: quality education for every child. On the ground, we’ll meet dedicated school management committees – fully mobilized and deeply committed to turning this vision into reality.
CLEF is a commitment to:
- Get more children into school.
- Make sure children learn at school.
- Achieve impact at scale; we want to make a difference in the lives of more than 4 million children by 2027.
CLEF funds school infrastructure and childcare facilities, supports teacher training in evidence-based pedagogical techniques, promotes behavior change so parents engage in their children’s education and apply good parenting practices to boost early childhood development, and tests a cutting-edge school nutrition program.
CLEF welcomes new partners: contact us to learn more about the initiative and to get involved.
