Stakeholders I'd suggest are Kenya Primary School Heads Association, KIE, Kenya Publishers Association, Kenya Parents Teachers Association, Ministry of Education, Universities with teacher training programmes, civil society organizations working in the basic education space such as Uwezo, National Taxpayers Association etc and donors that fund programs related to primary education. Some way of incorporating feedback from the general public would be useful and media should be included as part of a process of this nature as both stakeholders and partners in dissemination. Any critical stakeholder I've missed?

Kind regards,

Hi Edith. Thanks for the link, I will check it out. I am looking for action now.

In messages below some colleagues are mentioning that we need to have a stakeholders workshop. I offer to host such a workshop. Edith will you buy the tea and Mandazi ;-)

Who are the stakeholders?

Let us get moving. Have a great weekend.

Regards.
