A Sample Proposal on ”EdTech Solutions for Remote and Conflict-Affected Areas”

Executive Summary

Children and youth in remote and conflict-affected areas face severe disruptions to education due to displacement, infrastructure damage, insecurity, teacher shortages, and limited connectivity. Prolonged learning gaps increase risks of child labor, early marriage, radicalization, and long-term poverty.

This proposal introduces context-appropriate EdTech solutions that combine offline digital learning, solar-powered devices, teacher capacity building, and community learning hubs to ensure continuity of education in fragile settings.

 Problem Statement

Education systems in fragile and conflict settings face:

Traditional online learning models are often not feasible due to low connectivity and energy constraints.

 Project Goal

To ensure inclusive, continuous, and quality education for children and youth in remote and conflict-affected areas using resilient EdTech solutions.

 Objectives

  • Provide access to offline digital learning tools for 1,000 students.
  • Establish 5 solar-powered community learning hubs.
  • Train 50 teachers in blended and trauma-informed digital pedagogy.
  • Reduce learning gaps in literacy and numeracy by 25%.
  • Improve school retention rates among vulnerable learners.
