Want to maximize your learning impact?

Do you have a curriculum architecture problem?

Just like a house, if your learning foundation is shaky, guess what happens in a bad storm? There's a need for serious repairs.

Many nonprofits grow faster than their learning infrastructure. Add onto that, staff, program participants, and board members all live in different areas.

As the organization expands, delivery in training and/or programs becomes inconsistent, facilitators interpret content differently, and organizations struggle to show and know their impact.

It's not the content; it's that most programs evolve organically over time. Without a structured curriculum system, even strong programs have a hard time knowing how or when to scale. 

This is usually when we get called in. Nonprofits and NGOs want to strengthen capacity and deepen impact but they're not sure if the foundation will hold. 

Through intentional curriculum design AND learning system development, nonprofit organizations can create programs that:

• deliver consistent learning experiences
• support facilitators and trainers
• connect learning to real outcomes
• scale without losing quality

When Impact Network Together with PEAS was looking for a curriculum specialist, they were in a tough spot. They were merging organizations to broaden their reach in Eastern Africa. This is their story.

THE GAP

Impact Network runs a technology-driven education program across 40+ rural schools in Zambia. When a key team member transitioned to another role and the organization moved to a new learning platform, they needed an outside curriculum expert fast. Adding further complexity, the Zambian government had just instituted a policy requiring English as the language of instruction starting from Grade 1 and released new national curriculum standards for the first time in a decade.

THE PROCESS

Danielle came in with a plan. She reviewed over 150 lessons across four grade levels and early childhood education, developed lesson guides grounded in best practice, and worked closely with the in-house team to strengthen scaffolding, build in recall, and support student engagement throughout. The local team brought deep knowledge of the community and classroom context, and Danielle leaned into that, adapting quickly and keeping everyone moving through a period of significant change.

THE RESULTS

150+ lessons improved across four grade levels and early childhood education

10, 000 students supported across 40+ rural Zambian schools

Since the project completed, the curriculum supported by DG Consultancy has directly enabled the program to scale to over 10,000 students across rural Zambian schools. What Danielle built is still in use, still scaling, and still improving education for Zambian students.
