The regional Community Learning Centre operational guidelines for East/Horn of Africa have been designed to contribute to Adult Learning and Education (ALE) programmes in this region. The pillars for the concept of the CLC model are based on the Adult Learning and Education System Building Approach (ALESBA), and this framework is the reference point for all CLC model implementation in the region. The key reference documents include but are not limited to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 4, 4.7; the CONFINTEA VII Marrakesh Framework for action (UIL 2022); AND article 19 and 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Historically, DVV International has supported ALE programmes for the past 30 years, leaving an indelible footprint in Ethiopia, Uganda, and now Tanzania. Innovative approaches to community learning are being tried and tested, and then implemented to ensure evidence-based advocacy and policy for transformational change in communities in this region.
