03Educator capability
Better Learning Environments Start with the Adult.
How it reaches the child
- Local facilitators
- Teachers and centre leaders
- The classroom a child learns in
Teachers can transform daily experiences when equipped with sound developmental knowledge, practical methods and sustained support. CoRE helps strengthen classroom practice while local facilitators make guidance and quality support available close to where educators work.
CoRE, designed by Educateurs sans Frontières (EsF), is delivered with the Indaba Institute.

04Local leaders and trainers
Backed by Local Leaders and Trainers.
For organisations and public partners, trained local facilitators are what turn a programme into lasting capability. Through Indaba Deploy, partners can develop their own facilitator team, selected from their communities and prepared to shared standards.
Train
Prepare teachers and caregivers through practical, facilitated workshops.
Mentor
Visit, observe and coach in classrooms and centres, long after the workshop.
Protect quality
Keep shared standards strong as more people take part.
Build leaders
Recognise and encourage the next generation of facilitators.
That way, quality stays close to where children are, and does not depend on experts flying in.
The path begins here
01 · Preparing
Facilitator-in-training
A selected practitioner who co-facilitates under supervision while completing a year of preparation.
02 · Leading
Facilitator
Leads workshops and mentoring visits for a cohort, working to shared standards, supported by a trainer.
03 · Mentoring
Master facilitator
An experienced facilitator who mentors other facilitators, observes their practice and helps keep standards consistent.
04 · Forming
Trainer
Prepares and supervises facilitators-in-training, and is responsible for the quality of their formation.

Role definitions and any awards attached to them are being formalised with the Indaba Institute.
05The Indaba ecosystem and engine
Every Solution Draws on the Whole.
Indaba is one mission carried by three complementary institutions, so that access, excellence and reach can strengthen one another instead of competing.
Dedicated site
Indaba Foundation
Protect the mission and enable access.
Mobilises philanthropic stewardship and supports access where commercial approaches alone are insufficient.
What it gives the whole
- Long-term stewardship of the mission
- Support for access where markets alone fall short
- A home for philanthropy, kept separate from investment
Dedicated site
Indaba Institute
Create and safeguard excellence.
Advances pedagogy, training, quality and professional formation.
What it gives the whole
- The pedagogy behind every Indaba product
- Formation of teachers, caregivers and facilitators
- Standards and quality assurance, so excellence survives growth
This site
Indaba Ventures
Build and distribute solutions.
Designs and distributes products and solutions and develops institutional deployment models.
What it gives the whole
- Products and technology that carry the pedagogy further
- Deployment models for organisations and governments
- An enterprise designed to sustain the work over time
This describes roles, not legal ownership or governance relationships. Buying a product is not a donation, and a donation does not buy a product.
The engine
Excellence Is Built. Then Transmitted.
The Indaba Institute is the educational and quality engine behind Indaba: developing curriculum, forming facilitators and master facilitators, and safeguarding the standards, certification and research that keep every node to the same standard.
The Institute is not merely a supplier of courses. It is a source of pedagogical integrity, professional formation and ongoing learning for the wider system.
