Our flagship initiative
The NLF’s flagship initiative is the Data Driven Districts (DDD) programme, which uses data aggregation and analytics to put quality insights into the hands of education officials, to improve learner outcomes.
Through the programme’s online dashboard, which covers 24 000 schools throughout South Africa, education officials are able to pinpoint the schools and learners that need specific support, and then trigger customised interventions that make a difference where it is needed most.
