This report is part of PAL Network’s larger commitment to increasing the salience of foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) in the Global South. PAL Network’s FLN advocacy work for the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). It includes two pillars: engagement with regional organizations (ECOWAS, EAC, and SADC) and a policy scan conducted by PAL Network. As part of the first pillar, this project was implemented in 3 countries in Africa: Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria, to measure children’s foundational numeracy and reading abilities.
My Village is currently running in communities in Nepal and Tanzania. Building on proven results, we are expanding to reach more villages where children are still falling behind.
