"The Radio Instruction to Strengthen Education (RISE) in Tanzania project exceeded its targets and deliverables in every aspect of the project: More primary and secondary beneficiaries were reached, more trainings were conducted, and more resources and equipment were distributed than estimated. Thes ... e figures are principally due to the commitment of the RISE team and the level of the confidence in the program by national institutions (Ministries of Education and Vocational Training and the Tanzania Institute of Education), district officials, schools and local populations [...] RISE built capacity of communities, districts and national institutions for the establishment and maintenance of 180 Tucheze Tujifunze (TuTu) centers in two districts in Zanzibar and 95 Mambo Elimu Community Learning Centers (MECLC) in seven districts in Mainland Tanzania. In addition, RISE reached 246 classrooms in Zanzibar.

In addtion, RISE distributed user friendly and sustainable equipment (solar radios, MP3s and MP4s) for audio and video training and in-class support, and trained local staff in their care, use and operation. RISE conducted trainings for education mentors, teachers, shehas, head teachers, school management committees, teacher center staff, district officials and district coordinators.
