Human Capital Africa is an accountability and advocacy organization that aims to improve foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) outcomes for children in Sub-Saharan Africa. With the alarming statistic that 9 out of 10 children in the region cannot read, write, or do basic mathematics by the age of 10, Human Capital Africa recognizes the urgent need for action. Through their three-part solution, Human Capital Africa is actively engaging governments and policymakers.

Firstly, through advocacy, they leverage data and the influence of their leadership to raise awareness of the weak FLN learning situation. Secondly, they promote awareness by sharing knowledge and information about effective strategies, equipping governments to adopt data-backed policies and allocate appropriate resources. Lastly, they emphasize accountability by holding governments responsible for driving progress towards FLN goals.

To measure progress, Human Capital Africa has developed the Foundational Learning Scorecard, an accountability and analytical tool. This tool not only provides insights but also guides policy implementation to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of children. Human Capital Africa's impactful work is evident through their partnerships and initiatives, including launching in-country support programs, participating in high-level ministerial coalitions, and hosting events like the Transforming Education Summit.

Together with their partners and funders, Human Capital Africa is committed to addressing the learning crisis in Africa and ensuring African children have a head start in education and life
