Drawing from Swahili, 'uBoraBora' is a riff on Swahili words for quality and better. The repetition of ‘better better’ speaks to continuous improvement, it's our name and mantra for tackling problems.

The people behind uBoraBora are optimistic about education in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Much is now known about how children learn. We believe implementation research is key to scaling what we know and unlocking successful program and policy implementation. That’s why we’re proud to join the movement for more implementation research in global education.

We know implementation research is about more than collecting data, it’s understanding the 'how' and 'why' behind what works (or doesn’t); it’s about being context-aware and improvement-focused. It's adaptable, integrating continuous feedback, unraveling why certain processes fail, or testing solutions to unexpected challenges.

In our day-to-day life, it’s the result of curiosity and the pursuit of better outcomes for more learners. We want to work with people who feel the same optimism and productive curiosity.
