Our Partners
Educare's journey to transform learning in South Sudan is powered by a dynamic network of partners from government, academia, technology, and the humanitarian sector. These partnerships bring together resources, policy support, and innovation to scale Junub Academy nationwide.
Government Partners
Ministry of General Education and Instruction
Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MoGEI) is our lead government partner, having fully endorsed and funded Junub Academy from its pilot phase to national launch. Formal MoUs are signed with MoGEI and nearly all State Ministries of General Education and Instruction to support full-scale implementation. Efforts are underway to finalize MoUs with the remaining states and the three Administrative Areas. These partnerships firmly establish Educare as a trusted implementer of the country's digital learning agenda.
Ministry of Information, Communication Technology & Postal Services
Actively engaged in policy alignment and digital education advocacy, the Ministry of Information, Communication Technology & Postal Services through the National Communication Authority (NCA), has supported Junub Academy's development by facilitating official communications and directives to telecom operators for zero-rating and technical collaboration. Although our formal agreement is yet to be signed, our current relationship with the Ministry of Information, Communication Technology & Postal Services includes strategic collaboration, high-level endorsement and advocacy
