Case Study
Empowering UNESCO-IICBA with Strategic Resource Mobilization and Digital Solutions
Client Overview
The UNESCO International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA) is a specialized institute dedicated to strengthening teacher education and leadership across Africa. Focused on the 2030 Education Agenda, IICBA supports member states through innovative programs, technology-enhanced learning, and evidence-based policies to foster quality education. Their work aligns with global goals to create resilient, inclusive, and equitable educational systems.
Identified Gap
Before our collaboration, IICBA faced two critical challenges:
- Resource Mobilization: Limited strategies to attract and retain donors for scaling programs.
- Digital Presence: An outdated website lacking user-friendly features, multilingual accessibility, and integration with key platforms like their e-learning system and KIX repository.

We delivered tailored solutions to address their needs effectively and bring top-notch solutions:
