Creative Wins USAID Cooperative Agreement for Tanzania 21st Century Basic Education Program
Creative’s CEO, Charito Kruvant said, “We share and support Tanzania’s vision of bringing the best appropriate technology to enhance learning in the classroom.”
True to the Creative best practice of using a bottom-up approach, TZ21 will conduct a comprehensive initial workshop with Mainland and Zanzibar education officials, private sector partners, and community representatives to agree on a common vision of program goals and actions, clear roles and responsibilities, and specific milestones and timelines. This workshop will be repeated annually to review met targets and outstanding issues in order to meet planned indicators and objectives.
