Partners for change

The British Council is committed to building engagement and trust through the exchange of knowledge and ideas between people worldwide. We have a strong track record of implementing change through an approach that combines extensive local knowledge and global expertise. As a trusted partner in Sub-Saharan Africa, we help achieve change in the areas of justice, governance and education, in emerging and conflict affected states. Working closely with policy makers, stakeholders and professionals, we deliver value for money solutions that are both effective, sustainable and benefit disadvantaged members of societies.
