As we welcome a new cohort of INEE Country Focal Points (CFPs), we want to recognize the valuable contributions of the CFPs who were part of the initiative between 2021-2023.

From the beginning of the initiative in 2021, CFPs played a pivotal role in supporting networking and communication among INEE members in their countries. As a result, INEE became better known among EiE stakeholders in CFP countries and the overall membership of the network grew.

The following are a few of the results and achievements of INEE CFPs between 2021-2023:

INEE membership increased by an average of 52% in CFP countries
CFPs organized and led more than 100 EiE events, trainings, and presentations
CFP countries were routinely in the top 10 countries with respondents to INEE global surveys
CFPs authored, co-authored, or supported eight (8) blogs
CFPs started and moderated 15 INEE Community of Practice channels and WhatsApp/Telegram groups
CFPs organized 87 INEE Meet-Ups in their countries between 2021-2023
