The CCoPL starts in Uwezo assessment districts. It uses the existing partnership chain: the Uwezo Secretariat, district partner organisations, District Coordinators, Village Coordinators, assessment volunteers, and community and school actors, including LC1 leaders, school leaders, School Management Committees, Parent-Teacher Associations, religious leaders and parents.

District partners help to shape the approach, lead engagement in their districts, agree local priorities with their volunteers and communities, and keep the district register. Uwezo provides orientation, simple tools, evidence and light coordination. Progress is reviewed jointly every six months.

Members register once, join both a district WhatsApp group and a general WhatsApp group, and agree to a short code of conduct. Registration is online. District groups can begin discussing local education issues straight away, and the various Uwezo assessment findings will be brought in as they emerge.

Dialogue focuses on whether the findings resonate locally, what may explain them, what communities and schools can address themselves, and what needs referral. The findings are the entry point, not the limit: members also raise, discuss, act on and report other education issues that matter locally.

The CCoPL is free to join and to leave. Routine allowances are not the basis for participation.
