Adopt a school network for African Public School
This is an education support program initiative that helps to improve teaching capacity and school infrastructures in public schools in Africa by matching the financial contributions of private sector organizations and government partnerships who wish to adopt a school to improve the educational system in Africa.
The program is set to establish alliance with private sectors in sponsoring over 1 million public school projects across Africa.
We are building relationships and networks, working with education policy makers, encouraging them to develop best practice in education and global citizenship and support Africa’s education. We envision a public educational system that expands opportunities for all students, however, with specific focus on students in public schools from low income communities. This initiative enables them to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in a competitive economy and work environment. The goal is to ensure that all students in public schools receive quality education that will equip them to succeed in the higher institution or career training programs knowing well that high quality education is a major criterion for success.
Quality education is a bridge to opportunities particularly when it comes to profitable jobs and career path. In order to achieve this, we have identified five key areas of focus and priorities;
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT AND PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIP
The government plays a vital role in enacting educational policies and frameworks. We are in partnership with the private sector as supported by the government adopt schools through our network of Public schools to develop, renovate, construct, and organize teachers training and connect students and teachers in partnership with relevant educational organizations and agencies in order to improve the quality of education in Africa.
TEACHERS TRAINING SUPPORT PROGRAM:
This is aimed at supporting teachers to build their capacities by developing new pedagogy and core teaching skills that young people need to succeed in the 21ts century Education system.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS:
in order to ensure that no African child is denied access to quality education due to lack of fund, we raise fund and in partnership with individuals, organizations and international donors, provide them with scholarships. We identify them from every community and evaluate their current state, then provide them with access to education in collaboration with our partnering schools within and abroad.
DIGITAL EDUCATION LEARNING CENTER:
Our Digital Educational Learning Centre (DELC) works in form of investment for our partnering organizations who wish to run the (DELC) as an investment through the Innovative City Planners Educational Consulting Services.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT CLUB:
We provide guidance and counselling services to public schools students to help them discover and develop their talents and potentials early in life. We also help to get them ready for career guidance and vocational training.
INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL AWARD (IPSA):
With the International School Award (IPSA), we recognise Government and Public sectors that have shown a strong commitment in driving and carrying out the goals of Adopt a school Network for African public schools.
Career & Human Capital Development Program
Africa is a continent with remarkable economic potentials yet the least developed, largely due to its inadequate human capital development to transform this potential into social and economic development. This is why we believe that human capital development is a strategy or a catalyst for sustainable development in the economic development of Africa. Human capital is a global effort to accelerate more and better investment in people for greater equity and economic growth. We are committed in ensuring that youth in Africa are trained to be more skilful and independent, because it is considered to be one of the most important elements of nation growth. That is why the process of developing human capital requires creating the necessary environments in which employees can learn better and apply innovative ideas, acquire new competencies, develop skills, behaviours and attitude. It describes employee’s knowledge, skills sets and motivation that provide economic value to a firm.
Our aim is to improve and support public and private sector investment in employment services in Africa through human capital development.
Health Care Services
We work and collaborate with other, community service groups, Private organizations, and Government agency in providing health care services to rural dwellers, their families, and communities who do not have access to quality healthcare. We work from the grassroots level, aiming to solve the root cause of the problems that the rural people face by providing them with a mobile medical facility. We organize publicity advert and campaigns for medical and pharmaceutical companies as well as other donor agencies to support with healthcare facilities for rural communities. The foundation also invests in the African health fund in order to provide capital to support new approaches to improving the quality of health facilities in the rural communities.
Innovative City Development Foundation works on several health care projects in every community in Africa. We take health care to the poorest of the poor and to the remotest places; we initiated a unique delivery model with a practical mechanism called ‘Reaching the Unreached; which seeks to assist problems of mobility accessibility and availability of primary healthcare facility in rural communities.
We work in close collaboration with Government and private sectors to secure accessible maternal and child healthcare to the rural areas.
