Who We Are

An education partner working across the whole ecosystem.

Learning Catalyst Africa Limited is an education advisory, implementation, research, and systems-strengthening organisation working across the education ecosystem to create better learning opportunities for every learner.

We work with governments, schools, communities, development organisations, donors, foundations, NGOs, education institutions, and other partners to address education challenges through expertise, evidence, innovation, inclusion, and collaboration.

Our work spans the design, implementation, strengthening, evaluation, and scaling of education initiatives. We bring particular strength in inclusive and special education, guidance and learner support, teacher and school leadership development, education programmes, research and monitoring and evaluation, educational innovation, and education systems strengthening.

We do not simply deliver projects. We help partners understand challenges, develop practical solutions, strengthen capacity, generate and use evidence, improve implementation, support learners and families, and build stronger and more sustainable education systems.

Our Vision

An Africa where every learner has access to quality, inclusive education and the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Our Mission

To partner with governments, schools, communities, development organisations and other education stakeholders to design, implement and strengthen evidence-based solutions that improve learning, strengthen education systems and expand opportunities for every learner.

Our Purpose

To catalyse positive and sustainable change across the education ecosystem by bringing together expertise, evidence, innovation, inclusion and partnerships.

What We Believe

Every learner has potential.

Potential becomes opportunity when learners have access to quality teaching, inclusive environments, supportive schools and education systems that work.

Learner-centred

We keep the learner at the centre of our decisions, our work and the way we communicate.

Inclusive

Every learner deserves meaningful access to quality education, regardless of ability, gender, background or circumstance.

Evidence-informed

We connect research and data with practical implementation rather than treating them as separate activities.

Practical

We develop solutions that respond to the realities of schools, communities, education professionals and systems.

Partnership-driven

We work alongside partners rather than simply delivering services to them.

Our desired contribution: better education systems → stronger educators → better learning → greater opportunity for every learner.

Our Approach

From understanding a challenge to improving the solution.

Understand, Design, Strengthen, Implement, Measure, Learn, Improve. Each stage builds on the last, and what we learn feeds back into better design.
