Project. Support for the professionalization of teaching practices and the development of resources (APPRENDRE)
Launched in 2018 and funded by the French Development Agency (AFD), APPRENDRE is a program whose central theme is teacher professional development.
Implemented in some 20 countries, it will continue to be deployed at the request of new partners throughout 2023:
Customized support
APPRENDRE is unique in that it offers "à la carte" support to partner countries. The support, punctual and targeted, is provided upstream of the national projects designed and piloted by the countries. This flexibility allows for a multiplication of activities adapted to each context.
Countries define their action plan in close collaboration with the program's experts. Together, they establish a diagnosis, conduct a reflection and determine the actions to be implemented.
Depending on the needs, the support can target :
- a category of personnel(trainers, inspectors, school principals, pedagogical advisors, etc.),
- a theme common to several categories of actors(learning assessment, class observation, etc.),
- resources(pedagogical sheets, studies, etc.)
- or training tools (job description, modules, workbook, etc.).

LEARN mobilizes experts in the pedagogical, didactic and academic fields. Since its launch, nearly 100 expert missions have been carried out. They have been implemented thanks to the mobilization of 223 international specialists.
75% of the experts mobilized are from "Southern" countries.
APPRENDRE also relies on privileged partnerships with recognized actors of international expertise in education, in order to federate Francophone expertise. A number of partners have signed the Charter of the APPRENDRE Platform and carry out activities in this framework.
