About MIET AFRICA
To be an African leader in the provision of innovative approaches towards the holistic development of children and youth.
Established in 1996, with its head office in Durban, South Africa, MIET AFRICA is a regional Social Impact Organization with a footprint across the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Region. With a vision of improving the lives of children and youth, both in and out of school, it promotes their holistic development by supporting two critical sectors for human development – education and health – and leveraging the value of their integrated delivery.
Over the past 27 years MIET AFRICA has evolved into a leading organization in the development landscape with a staff complement of over 450, operating in six countries, assisting Ministries of Education to strengthen their education systems so that they are better able to address barriers to learning. Much of this is done in alignment with the Care and Support for Teaching and Learning (CSTL) framework.
MIET AFRICA’s work is implemented in line with international, continental and regional mandates providing and is also informed by national education sector legislation. It provides children and youth with opportunities to act and influence change in social, political, economic and civic spheres, and to hold duty bearers to account for their commitments to address their health, education and wellbeing priorities.
