Ministries face an impossible puzzle: fragmented education policies and standards across Africa, dozens of app contracts, apps that are not interoperable , and no real-time data on what works.

About
We provide the infrastructure to solve this systematically—connecting policy, technology, and funding access. RESPECT makes it easy.
How RESPECT Makes it Easy for Policymakers to
Implement continental policy standards
RESPECT supports Ministries of Education to implement the Africa EdTech 2030 Vision by providing ready-to-use standards and shared infrastructure, enabling faster adoption of continental policies tailored to national education contexts.
Align apps with national curriculum standards
RESPECT Compatible™ apps are designed to align with your country’s national curriculum, allowing educators to discover apps that teach the specific skills required by your curriculum framework.
Overcome connectivity barriers
RESPECT is designed to function online, offline, and in intermittent connectivity environments, ensuring access without costly upfront investments in infrastructure.
Collect and protect learner data
RESPECT Compatible™ apps send learner data to your chosen endpoint, hosted locally to meet national data protection laws, ensuring sovereignty and eliminating fragmented, unsecured data across multiple platforms and jurisdictions.
Keep EdTech free for schools
Students and teachers use RESPECT Compatible™ apps at no cost, helping ministries stay within budget and simplify EdTech implementation.
Deliver localised content at scale
RESPECT supports localization, enabling developers to create apps in multiple African languages and cultural contexts. This helps address the scarcity of localized content while fostering innovation.
Eliminate multiple logins
RESPECT is an open-source digital library where educators discover and use interoperable EdTech apps with a single account. This eliminates tool fatigue and the burden of managing dozens of separate logins.
Access innovations across the continent
RESPECT enables countries to showcase local EdTech apps across Africa, helping developers gain visibility, scale continent-wide, and allowing ministries to demonstrate leadership in advancing inclusive, sustainable digital education initiatives systems.
AUDA-NEPAD's Vision charts the destination
Every African learner with access to locally relevant digital courseware by 2030. RESPECT provides the infrastructure to get there—connecting policy, apps, and funding into a working platform that Ministries can adopt today.
