Evidence Generation and Learning
This pillar focuses on generating evidence to inform innovation and advocacy work for Zizi Afrique Foundation and evidence community building. We believe in the need to catalyse evidence for system change, internal learning and adapting organizational practices.
Policy Learning for Universal Secondary Education
The Policy Learning for Universal Secondary (PLUS) Education aims to test the potential for driving change by focusing on policy enforcement and accountability, rather than plugging gaps. This will be achieved through:
• Generating evidence on the drivers and barriers to implementing Kenya’s existing 100% transition policy and community accountability.
• Co-creating with the Ministry of Education and stakeholders and testing a community accountability intervention that tests identified successful drivers of 100% transition.

Future of Work
The Future of Work program aims to establish an observatory that uses skill and job methodologies that are grounded in local context (urban and rural) that will help:
• Job applicants access vacancies,
• Track employers and available skills in the market,
• Offer industry partnerships with training institutions and attachment opportunities to enable them to know the market demands.
The observatory will act as a central point for employment and skills/job forecasting and will be used to avail data to public and private decisionmakers to improve their understanding of job creation and to align education to the current and future possibilities of the job market. Leveraging on the generating and use of data on skills and jobs and other employment indicators and future of work, the program will inform not just the planning for training and placement, but also career choice, youth migration and job-seeking behaviour.
