It aims to identify key actors and relationships in the EdTech sector in Sudan to understand how EdTech can be better utilised to accelerate progress towards SDG4, with a particular focus on how EdTech programmes, such as War Child’s Can’t Wait to Learn, can be effectively scaled up. The study consists of three methods: semi-structured interviews with seven key informants in the EdTech sector, an analysis of relevant policy documents, and a social network analysis of relationships between EdTech actors. Data collection was considerably impacted by a military coup and subsequent political instability considerably affected data collection as well as the lives and work of interview respondents, creating general uncertainty about most political processes and priorities, including EdTech.
