We can't do our work alone - our partnerships are key for connecting new communities with new tools. Through our longstanding partnership with Adobe, we've been able to leverage tools to support readability and increase access to vital health materials. In #Malawi, we used Liquid Mode in Adobe Acrobat to digitize job aids for community case workers who relied on costly and complicated paper-based job aids when supporting communities living with #HIV. This made critical health information more accessible-saving time, cutting costs, and driving #healthequity. We’re grateful to be a part of Adobe for Nonprofits, an initiative designed to help provide nonprofits with the tools they need to change the world.

At #COP29 through the Global Plan of Action on Education for Biodiversity and at #UNGA through the Declaration on Future Generations, the world made clear their commitment to creating a more sustainable and equitable world for present and future generations. The Declaration on Future Generations recognizes children and youth as agents of change and emphasizes the need to include them in decision-making. In a Global Student Environment Survey, hundreds of young people called for a transformation in education that prioritizes hands-on experiences that connect them to nature. We currently face an array of complex, interconnected challenges that need long-term, youth-centered solutions. We are committed to supporting young people in building the skills and knowledge to respond to these urgent challenges and creating a safer and more prosperous future for all: https://brnw.ch/21wOOBd

Today, #COP29 hosts the first holistic Human Development Day and launches the Baku Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience, addressing issues at the intersections of health, education, jobs, skills, and youth development. The initiative will enhance global cooperation on #greeningeducation by establishing global minimum standards for greening schools, curriculum, teacher training, and education systems’ through the Greening Education Partnership. It also seeks to scale up investment in skilling, reskilling, and upskilling the current and future workforce and support a fair and inclusive shift to a sustainable economy. We are excited by the momentum to green education and workforce development and encourage attention on community-led environmental solutions: https://brnw.ch/21wOKbh

Communities around the world are creating solutions to adapt to and mitigate #climatechange, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Despite this, from 2003 to 2016 less than ten percent of global climate funds reached local groups. At #COP16, participating countries agreed to create a formal subsidiary body to ensure the involvement of local groups in conservation efforts. #COP29 is focused on delivering climate financing to the communities that need it most. There is progress being made when donors and implementing partners prioritize equitable, community-based solutions like these: https://brnw.ch/21wOFm8

Up to 83% of primary school learners in #Uganda lack foundational learning skills, with many lagging behind their expected grade-level achievement. Improving learning outcomes requires going beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. Teaching At the Right Level (#TaRL) helps educators build students' foundational skills by grouping them by learning level, rather than age or grade. We’re supporting the use of TaRL in Ugandan primary schools under the USAID Targeting the Learning Crisis (TLC) program and building capacity to foster learning at every level.

Enhancing the long-term quality of instruction in schools in #Cambodia requires a strong commitment to continuous improvement within the education system. We're working to increase access to high-quality teacher professional development by growing the digital platform in phase 2 of the UNICEF #DigitalEducation program, thanks to the commitment of the Government of Cambodia and educators across the country. https://brnw.ch/21wOBeO Chanmony Ung

In #Mozambique, the USAID SABER program is working to address learners’ unique needs by piloting #targetedinstruction in primary schools with recorded low student performance. Targeted instruction allows teachers to focus on building #foundationalskills by assessing and grouping students by learning level and holding 1.5 hour literacy and mathematics sessions throughout the week. At the end of the pilot, we found that 50% of students progressed to the next literacy level and 30% to the next mathematics level. The SABER team joins Mozambique’s Ministry of Education and Human Development this week at the Teaching at the Right Level Conference in Nairobi, Kenya to share their experiences. https://brnw.ch/21wOzl7
