We are looking for local content creators to help create a highly contextualized, comprehensive, adaptive course for children in literacy and numeracy. The local technology partner should have a solid understanding of foundational literacy and numeracy curriculum and local context of the host communities in Cox’s Bazar and the coastal belt of Bangladesh to spearhead the content creation that is aligned with the learning needs of the community, accommodate low-literacy users, and is linguistically appropriate and culturally relevant.

Our vision is to work closely with the local content creation partner(s) to develop and execute an optimized model in our next phase in Cox’s Bazar. Based on a successful execution in Cox’s Bazar, we hope to continue working with the local technology partner(s) as we scale-up the program.
