Development Partner Documentation

Decision frameworks, governance, risk mitigation, and attribution guidelines for Development Partners considering engagement with Africa's EdTech Breakthrough Project.

Development Partners (DPs) get invited to study dozens, scores, even hundreds of project proposals every year. It is the project proposer's job to make it easy for the DP to perform "due diligence" on their proposal. This folder contains documents which, we hope, with make the DP's job a little easier.

During the Public Comment Period we would welcome comments from DPs, especially on how we can make their due diligence job even easier while making the Project even better at helping them accomplish their own goals.
