HELVETAS Tanzania, in partnership with the University of Bern (Switzerland), University of Zambia, and Ruaha Catholic University (Tanzania), is receiving funding from the EU Global Gateway through the Finnish National Agency for Education for the implementation of its 1.5-year project named the Regional Teachers’ Initiative for Africa (RTIA). This project is being carried out in Tanzania (Dodoma, Morogoro, Iringa, and Njombe regions) and Zambia.

The overall objective of the project is to conduct education research through a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) to assess the effectiveness of two scaling approaches (peer-to-peer cascading and training of trainers cascading approaches) in improving teaching practices for teachers in Tanzania and Zambia.
