The Regional Teachers Initiative for Africa supports teacher professional development and teacher governance in Sub-Saharan Africa to ensure that schools have enough skilled and motivated teachers to deliver quality education. The initiative will contribute to regional and national objectives by supporting and complementing national education and teacher reforms, offering opportunities for countries to work together, supporting partnerships and peer learning for teachers in the region, and also to work with Europe. Within the RTIA, the Regional Facility for Teachers in Africa, supports regional and national initiatives aimed at providing quality education by operating through a multifaceted approach, which includes three complementary components. The RTIA Facility is supported by France, Finland and Belgium. It complements the other two components of the RTIA, which focus on enhancing teacher professional development, support, and collaboration across Africa, and facilitating policy research, exchange and peer learning to ensure consistency between global, regional, and national efforts and are which are led by the African Union Commission and UNESCO respectively.
