Teacher Capacity Building for Inclusive Education in ASAL Contexts

This brief highlights how the Nia Adaptation Project is strengthening teacher capacity to deliver inclusive, gender-responsive, and trauma-informed education in Turkana and Garissa counties. It outlines key interventions including Training of Trainers (TOT), foundational teacher training, and Communities of Practice (CoPs), supported by ongoing coaching and mentorship.

The brief also presents results showing improved teacher confidence, shifts in attitudes toward gender equity, and adoption of more inclusive classroom practices. It emphasizes that sustainable change requires continuous support systems, practical tools, and peer learning structures rather than one-off training approaches.
