A message from the IMFUNDO TEAM

Welcome to our web-site. Imfundo is a unique initiative, providing partners with a rare opportunity to help transform the education sector in Africa.

The provision of quality education for young people in Africa is one of the most important tasks for all of us in the international community. Working together with African governments and teachers, we can help to provide relevant and high quality training and knowledge for future generations. But this requires considerable investment and commitment. Imfundo is specifically designed to help make available such resources to African countries.

Imfundo’s unique contribution is the way in which our ResourceBank combines the skills and contributions of a wide range of different partners to help African governments achieve the international development targets of gender equality and universal primary education. Working together, we are able to achieve far more than we could alone. With DFID funding, the hardware, software and management expertise of the private sector, the research skills of universities, and the local expertise and involvement of civil society organisations, we can help to create innovative and sustainable solutions.

Our KnowledgeBank is designed to share information about the use of ICT for enhancing education across Africa. We are keen to build it up to provide a wealth of material of relevance not only to government officials, but also to teachers and practitioners throughout Africa. Please use the discussion forum, or e-mail Jason Monty direct, to suggest additional features that we should incorporate in the site. I very much want the KnowledgeBank to provide useful material for all those involved in using ICT to help transform the provision of appropriate learning in Africa.

Please explore our site. I hope you find it user-friendly, and that it will encourage you to be involved in helping us to achieve our objectives. Together, we can use ICT to help make a real difference to learning and teaching across Africa.
