Technology & Standards
Tools That Equip. Standards That Endure.
Technology can widen access, make learning easier to revisit and strengthen support and feedback. It should never replace the relationships between adults and children; it should equip the adults who sustain them.
01Principles
What Technology Is For.
We describe each capability by what it is designed to do and by its current status. Nothing here is offered as a finished feature unless the product page says so.
-
Access
Reach people where they are
Designed for the devices people already use, including where connections are slow or costly.
-
Revisit
Guidance when it is needed
Short, practical learning that adults can return to when a question arises.
-
Support
Between the visits
Helping facilitators and mentors stay close to practice between trainings.
-
Feedback
Seeing what changes
Structured observation, so quality can be noticed, discussed and improved.
02Where things stand
Built in Stages. Labelled Honestly.
- Indaba Guide
- Trusted guidance for adults, organised around everyday needs. Its current status is shown on the Guide page.
- Learning Pathways
- Delivered mainly through people today: training, practice and mentoring. Digital support is being designed to complement them, not to replace them.
- Observation & quality
- Being designed with facilitators: simple ways to record what is observed and follow quality over time.

04Quality standards
Quality You Can Observe.

Clear expectations
What good practice looks like, described in plain language.

02
Observed practice
Facilitators and mentors observe in real settings.
-
03
Honest feedback
Strengths and next steps agreed with the practitioner.
