**ABOUT AFLATOUN**

Aflatoun International is a global non-profit organisation headquartered in Amsterdam, with a Global Programme Hub in Nairobi. Working through a network of nearly 400 civil society and government partners across 100 countries, Aflatoun's Social and Financial Education (SFE), builds the agency, resilience, and protective behaviours of children and young people from early childhood through adolescence.

Aflatoun's impact has been independently verified through randomised controlled trials, tracer studies, and World Bank-partnered evaluations. Aflatoun has been recognized globally (Brookings, Harvard, HundrEd, Million Lives Club) for its high-impact, low-cost model, which has shown to be effective in changing behaviours of participants across the globe.

Currently, the organisation is developing a Digital Learning Platform to serve as the primary digital environment through which its partners and teachers access training, curricula, eLearning courses, and collaborative resources. The platform will support Aflatoun's mission by equipping those who deliver its SFE programmes with the tools and knowledge they need to do so effectively.

**Who the Platform Will Serve**

This platform is designed specifically for Aflatoun's partners and teachers, the civil society organisations, government entities, and trained facilitators who deliver Aflatoun curricula on the ground. It is not a learner-facing platform for children or young people. Its primary users are:

- Partner organisation staff and programme managers from Aflatoun's global network
- Certified Aflatoun facilitators and classroom teachers delivering SFE programmes
- Trainers of Trainers (ToT) who cascade capacity to facilitators within partner organisations
- Aflatoun International programme and regional staff who support partners

The platform will enhance the capacity of these users to deliver Aflatoun curricula with fidelity and confidence, by providing centralised access to training, resources, and peer learning tools.

**Rationale for a Digital Learning Platform**

As Aflatoun International continues to scale across geographies, the management and delivery of partner-facing training and curriculum resources has become increasingly complex. A unified digital platform addresses the following needs:

- Centralising access to official Aflatoun curricula.
- Standardising facilitator and partner training delivery through hosted and recorded sessions
- Supporting self-paced learning via modern eLearning formats, enabling partners to build capacity at their own pace
- Integrating an existing AI tool that makes curriculum content more accessible and searchable
- Showcasing collaborative work and joint projects with partner organisations

**PLATFORM OVERVIEW**

The platform will be structured around four functional sections, accessible to authenticated users through a personalised home page and dashboard. Each section serves a distinct purpose within Aflatoun's partner and facilitator support model.

- Training Hub and Curriculum Access: Hosted and recorded training sessions; structured access to Aflatoun curricula by programme type and age group, restricted to approved users
- eLearning Centre: Self-paced online courses supporting standard eLearning formats with certificaion and badge feature (H5P, SCORM, xAPI, video, and others)
- AI Learning Assistant: Embedded integration of Aflatoun's existing web-based AI tool, enabling users to query curriculum and training content
- Collaboration Showcase: A showcase of joint projects, co-created resources, and collaborative outputs produced with partner organisations

**SECTION A: TRAINING HUB AND CURRICULUM ACCESS**

**Overview**

The Training Hub is the central learning and resource section of the platform. It combines live and recorded training sessions with structured access to Aflatoun's suite of international curricula. Access to this section and in particular to curriculum materials is restricted to approved users based on their role and organisational affiliation.

**Hosted and Recorded Training Sessions**

**Live Training Sessions**

The platform shall support the hosting and delivery of live, virtual training sessions. These sessions will be used by Aflatoun International and its partners to train facilitators, conduct ToT workshops, and deliver programme orientation.

- Integration with a virtual classroom or webinar tool (e.g. Zoom, BigBlueButton, or equivalent)
- Calendar-based scheduling and user registration for upcoming sessions
