At Collanet Africa, we believe in a future where every learner embodies integrity, collaboration, and academic excellence. Our “Colla-petitive” model is the engine of this transformation. This Theory of Change outlines how our strategic objectives and activities lead to profound, lasting impacts on educational outcomes and societal development across Africa.
Collanet Africa seeks to transform schools currently characterized by indiscipline, selfishness, and poor academic performance into model learning environments that embody integrity, compassion, and academic excellence.
To achieve this, the organization operates through four strategic pathways:
1. Discipline & Integrity
Building a school culture where learners consistently demonstrate ethical behavior, responsibility, and self-regulation.
Outcome: Students exhibit exceptional sustainable discipline and integrity both inside and outside school .
2. Care & Compassion
Fostering social-emotional growth so learners build empathy, support one another, and prioritize the welfare of their peers.
Outcome: Learners genuinely care about the wellbeing of others and collaborate with a shared sense of community .
3. Academic Excellence
Embedding collaborative learning (“colla-petitive” learning) and strengthening pedagogy so students develop strong academic foundations.
Outcome: Students achieve measurable improvements in academic performance and develop strong collaborative learning capacities .
4. Networking & Resource Mobilisation
Building partnerships, attracting resources, and strengthening MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning) systems to sustain and scale the model.
Outcome: The organization’s resource mobilization and partnerships are strengthened, enabling broader implementation of the Colla-petitive model.
Overall Theory of Change Logic
If students and teachers participate in activities that cultivate discipline, integrity, compassion, collaborative learning, and academic focus, and if the organization secures the resources and partnerships to implement these strategies effectively, then schools will shift from environments defined by indiscipline and low academic performance to model schools characterized by integrity, compassion, and academic excellence.
