After ten years of working in Niger, the Remember Niger Coalition is pleased to announce that a partner school reached self-sufficiency in 2019. Congratulations to the Niamey Primary School for having the leadership, infrastructure and capacity to work independently while maintaining its high standard for quality education.
A primary goal of the Remember Niger Coalition is for our Nigerien partner schools to be sustainable and self-sufficient. Since our founding in 2009, our strategy has been to partner with Nigerien organizations and community leaders who seek to establish schools in their communities in order to expand quality educational opportunities for Nigerien children and youth. We work to empower our partners by assisting them in building their capacity, which will ensure that their schools become sustainable and self-sufficient. Moreover, their schools will be models in their communities and regions, and the school leaders will be experts in their field. In many cases, they will mentor other school leaders and assist organizations in the establishment of new schools. While the Remember Niger Coalition continues its work to build the capacity of current school partners, the Niamey Primary School’s success provides us with the opportunity to increase our impact through new partnerships. This is an important step forward in realizing our vision that every child in Niger receive a quality education. We help move the schools and educational centers we support towards sustainability and self-sufficiency in the following three ways: 1. We help administrators acquire the tools they need to succeed, including leadership and management skills, compliance with government requirements, and an organizational structure that promotes success and sustainability. 2. We connect our partner schools and educational centers with non-governmental organizations, foundations, and associations and equip them to develop their own new strategic partnerships. 3. We construct and install the necessary infrastructure to ensure that our school partners have the capacity to be successful. |
