Tanzania Reading Recovery Activity

The Tanzania Reading Recovery Activity (2023–2025), implemented by RTI International in partnership with the Government of Tanzania and funded by the Hempel Foundation, represents a large-scale, government-embedded remedial literacy initiative targeting Standard 2 learners falling behind in foundational reading skills. Designed around evidence-based, play-centered pedagogy and strong government ownership, the program reached over 79,000 pupils across four regions and trained more than 3,200 teachers in over 1,600 schools
