VVOB will be turning 30 years in 2012. To celebrate this occasion VVOB is launching an 'Active Teaching and Learning' competition for teachers and lecturers in all VVOB partner countries and Flanders.
The VVOB is the Flemish Association for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance, a non-profit organisation. By order of the Flemish and the Belgian government we contribute to the improvement of quality of the education in developing countries. Our core task is to provide technical assistance in projects and programmes in the South. This way VVOB makes a major contribution to local capacity development, a means to stimulate sustainable development and poverty reduction.
Activities
The multi-year programme of VVOB in Kenya (2008-2013) has two sub-programmes: Healthy Learning in primary schools and ICT Integration in Education. We are also active in the medical sector in Kenya through the KMTC Skillslab project. VVOB Kenya participates in the SchoolLinks programme, which links schools of Kenya (among other countries) with schools in Flanders (a region in Belgium).

Mrs Hilde Herssens joined the Healthy Learning Team, on 3 October 2011, when they visited schools in Kathiani and Machakos Districts during her mission to Kenya. She interacted with (more than 70) parents, teachers from 15 Healthy Learning schools from four districts as well as with district and national education officers.
