Ethiopia Education Fund

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Transforming rural education with coordinated teacher training and resource distribution

Team Size

28 staff members

Duration

20 months

Ethiopia Education Fund supports 120 rural schools across three regions, providing teacher training, learning materials, and infrastructure improvements. Coordinating activities across such a vast geographic area with limited connectivity posed significant operational challenges.

The Challenge

The fund struggled to coordinate teacher training schedules across regions, track distribution of learning materials to schools, and monitor infrastructure projects. Regional coordinators worked in silos, leading to duplicated efforts and missed opportunities for collaboration. Reporting to donors was time-consuming and often incomplete.

The Solution

EEF implemented Taskmate to centralize coordination across all their programs. They created regional workspaces with standardized workflows for teacher training, material distribution, and infrastructure projects. Real-time visibility allowed leadership to allocate resources more effectively and respond quickly to emerging needs.

Implementation

  • Established region-based project structures with standardized templates
  • Created training event coordination workflows
  • Built material inventory and distribution tracking
  • Implemented infrastructure project management systems
  • Automated donor reporting and impact documentation

Coordination Efficiency

"Taskmate gave us the coordination system we desperately needed. Our regional teams can now collaborate effectively, and we have complete visibility into every school's progress. Donor reporting that used to take weeks now takes days, and it's far more accurate and compelling."
