DOT Ethiopia works with different partner organizations. Currently, DOT Ethiopia has 6 partners: the British Council and SOS Children’s Village (international organizations) and Hiwot Ethiopia, Tsalke, AAYA and Talent Youth (local NGOs ). These partnerships provide the training of the young ReachUp! community participants in addition to the cost of the training facilities, such as computers and Internet connections, and a facilitation room.

Future Potential partners for DOT Ethiopia  

DOT Ethiopia is creating a solid partnership with the GTZ Engineering Capacity Building Program (ECBP)  to help bring the Interns into vocational schools and provide entrepreneurial training and mentoring to young people.   DOT Ethiopia is also creating a partnership with the UNESCO - International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA) initiative in order to train a group of pre-service teachers in the Teachers Training Institute in DOT's TeachUp! training curricula.  This training will be added to the UNESCO-iicba intensive 3-day training for young adults studying to become teachers.  After graduation, students trained by DOT and UNESCO will serve for one year as TeachUp! Interns and will be placed in schools to work with teachers to enhance their ICT knowledge and create a dynamic and exciting educational environment for kids.
