ESD-JKUAT

A collaborative space advancing transformative teacher education through ESD leadership innovation and community engagement for a sustainable future.

Innovation Details

The ESD-JKUAT website is an engaging digital platform dedicated to promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Africa, with a strong focus on teacher education transformation. It is hosted by Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) as part of the ESD initiative. The website highlights how ESD empowers learners with the skills, knowledge, and values needed to address real-world sustainability challenges, while aligning with global and continental educational goals such as SDG 4.7 and the African Union Teacher Competency Framework. Its mission is to develop a new generation of educators and leaders capable of driving sustainable transformation across the continent.

The site offers a rich blend of resources and information on ongoing projects, featured sustainability themes, upcoming events, and capacity-building activities. Notably, it details JKUAT’s role in establishing ICT labs, conducting ESD-aligned workshops, supporting student-led change projects, and integrating sustainability into curriculum development. Visitors can explore key themes like climate change education, circular economy, digital inclusion, gender equality, and green jobs. The platform also provides tools like the ESD Curriculum Toolkit, assessment guides, and access to online communities of practice, creating a collaborative hub for educators, students, policymakers, and institutions committed to shaping a more just and sustainable Africa through education.
