Context

Djibouti's Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training (MENFOP), under its 2025-2029 REATIC strategic plan, needed its own supervisory corps trained before any classroom AI rollout. From October 2025 to January 2026, MENFOP, the OIF's Regional Francophone Centre for Africa (CREFA), and InnoVAI Djibouti jointly ran seven training sessions covering technical, pedagogical and ethical competencies in generative AI.

Results

42 inspectors and pedagogical advisors were trained, producing AI-assisted lesson plans, automated evaluation grids, multimedia instructional materials, and MENFOP's first Ethical Charter governing AI use. A certification ceremony was held at CREFA on 25 January 2026.

Conclusions

This is a train-the-trainer initiative: no classroom-level student-outcome data exists yet. The announced roadmap -- expanding to 200 pedagogical advisors, creating a dedicated AI expertise unit, and establishing a formal AI regulatory framework -- remains a stated plan rather than a completed deliverable.
