Abstract
Education systems worldwide are adapting to demands from civil society
and the workforce to better equip young people to function effectively in the twentyfrst century world. The lag from awareness to aspiration to policy and to practice
requires communities to contribute to building knowledge, developing tools, and
representing society’s needs to government. Three countries in sub-Saharan Africa,
Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, are benefting from the efforts of a network of civil
organisations working together with academia and government, which seek to
enhance education provision. This introductory chapter establishes the context in
which the Assessment of Life Skills and Values in East Africa initiative has developed tools to measure adolescents’ profciencies, and in so doing developed expertise in the assessment of life skills and values through a regional initiative.
