The Assessment for Life Skills and Values in East Africa (ALiVE) is a five-year project of the Regional Education Learning Initiative (RELI). Since 2020 ALiVE has defined three key life-skill and values and has developed a robust set of measurement tools to generate evidence on adolescents’ learning levels in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The evidence generated to create awareness and advocate for greater government focus on nurturing life skills and values. Working within the ALiVE Community of Practice, the project will also strengthen local expertise in assessment and contribute to regional evidence generation and credibility for Social and Emotional Learning measurement & advocacy.
