REAP elected to co-chair a working group under Rwanda Education NGOs Coordination Platform

Vedaste from Wellspring Foundation, one of the NGO members engages with REAP Community Board members

With over 150 national and international NGO members, the Rwanda Education NGOs Coordination Platform is the largest NGO union in the country. This NGO platform liaises with the ministry of education around various education policy matters. The union also serves as a platform for NGOs to connect, collaborate and share experience and resources.

Following the opening of our Community Learning Center and Library in 2018, we hosted a learning trip for various NGO members. As a result of our leadership, and innovative programming, REAP was voted to serve as a co-chair for the community development committee for the next two years.

For REAP, chairing this working group opens more visibility and partnership opportunities. We will be actively participating in policy-level meetings with the central government, other partners in the education sector as well as international NGOs.
