We serve our clients with excellence to achieve outstanding, durable, meaningful impacts that help education systems provide children, their families, and their communities with the ability to visualize a better future and the skills and knowledge to realize that future.
We provide a full suite of top-quality donor advising services for philanthropies, foundations, ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, corporate social responsibility entities, and other across a wide spectrum of technical areas.
Our flagship education program, Speed School, is an accelerated education program that brings out-of-school children aged 9 to 14 back into formal education where they thrive.
We have long prioritized the institutional adoption of Speed School by government education systems, building a solid foundation for the programs’ sustained and scaled operation. This collaboration is inherent to other ways Speed School is customized for each country context, such as curriculum reform.
Gender equality and inclusion are at the core of all aspects of our work in education and all sectors, with Geneva Global’s bringing to these crucial outcomes a variety of creative, multidimensional solutions.
We produce comprehensive information and documentation from our education activities relying on a combination of our own monitoring and evaluation systems as well as outside, independent research. Our MERL efforts have resulted in peer-reviewed journal articles, longitudinal studies, blog postings, and public presentations.
I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Geneva Global on the Speed School program as a collaborating partner in Uganda. I have witnessed the real meaning and purpose the Speed School program brings to the lives of children, parents and facilitators, alike. I am proud our organization is a partner of Geneva Global. In our time together we have not only impacted the lives of so many people, but we have also strengthened our own capacity as implementers and changemakers.
We can see there is so much improvement. Our children were out of school for so long and then at the end they were stronger than every other student who had always gone to school. We are so proud! This [program] teaches them discipline and manners and brings us pride and joy! They are not lazy and are very committed and hygiene. The. life skills are the most important part, it makes them better people.
To us as the Link School, Speed School has opened our eyes to the gaps that led the children to drop out in the first place. We are adopting Speed School methods in the other classrooms now to keep kids interested in school. Speed School facilitators are sharing their experience and our school teachers are adopting and practicing Speed School’s best practices.
Geneva Global counts among our partners the several clients on whose behalf we design, implement, and evaluate education programs and a variety of other products, the government agencies that run the systems in which we work, and the grantee civil society organizations that ensure the program’s ‘front-line’ delivery. All play vitally critical roles. Find out who these are below.
