SayPro plays an essential role in helping South African stakeholders understand Key Action 3 (KA3) of Erasmus+, which focuses on supporting policy reforms in education, training, and youth sectors. KA3 aims to facilitate dialogue and cooperation between policymakers, institutions, and civil society to develop innovative policies that address current challenges. SayPro guides South African partners in identifying relevant KA3 opportunities and crafting proposals that align with both Erasmus+ priorities and South Africa’s policy reform needs.
Through KA3 projects, SayPro fosters South Africa-Europe collaboration on policy dialogue and research. These projects enable the exchange of good practices and evidence-based policymaking that supports education and youth development reforms. SayPro’s facilitation ensures that South African participants actively contribute to European policy discussions while adapting lessons learned to local contexts. This strengthens the overall impact of KA3 in shaping effective and inclusive policies.
SayPro also supports capacity building for South African policymakers and practitioners involved in KA3 initiatives. It organizes training sessions, workshops, and peer-learning events that enhance understanding of EU policy frameworks and reform processes. SayPro emphasizes the importance of multi-stakeholder involvement, including youth organizations and marginalized groups, to ensure that policies developed through KA3 projects are relevant and equitable.
Finally, SayPro advocates for increased awareness and uptake of KA3 funding in South Africa. It collaborates with Erasmus+ National Agencies and government bodies to promote the strategic importance of policy reform projects. SayPro’s sustained efforts contribute to building a culture of innovation and cooperation between South Africa and Europe, enabling both regions to address shared education and youth development challenges more effectively.
