Improving education in Tanzania: Impacts for students and teachers

One of the first of its kind globally, Tanzania's Education Programme for Results (EPforR) is a pioneering, results-based funding initiative, challenging traditional aid models by paying the government only upon achieving pre-agreed educational goals.

We play a crucial role by independently verifying these achievements and offering feasibility assessments that bolster system-wide improvements. Beyond verification, we support the continual improvement of the programme by providing practical recommendations and fostering a shared understanding of progress through detailed reports and policy briefs. 

This unique approach is helping strengthen Tanzania's education system, fostering accountability and driving tangible improvements in quality, equity, and access, all while navigating the challenges of a rapidly growing school-age population.

The illustrations below delve into what these systems-wide changes mean for people’s daily lives. Through the eyes of a student, a teacher and a headteacher, we take a human-centred approach to understanding how programme outcomes are translating into meaningful changes for individuals.
