Development Ratings

Improving access to education: Over 183,000 children and young people have benefitted from improved access to and quality of schooling in 2008. Over 250,000 people indirectly benefitted form radio distance learning programmes.

Building the capacity to govern: A number of early scholars of AET’s programmes have developed into positions of leadership and authority in current governments and agencies. Training in English and basic computer skills gives civil servant staff greater skills and organisational abilities. Places to take properly invigilated professional examinations increases the reputation of qualifications.

Improving work opportunities: Vocational training in practical, locally demanded skills enables young people to fill employment opportunities. Greater literacy improves prospects for earnings.

NGO/school capacity development: Conflict has undermined teacher training as well as infrastructure, so new generations of properly trained teachers multiplies the benefit of the school buildings, materials and libraries provided. Local NGOs can develop greater capacity to help their target communities with essential needs after training in basic computer and organisational skills.

Local development: Local authors/publishers benefit from the pamphlets produced and distributed.
