Empowering humanitarian workers with digital learning opportunities to better contribute to MSF’s operations and mission. 


Tembo was first planned to provide equitable access to learning opportunities across MSF, empowering individuals to develop their skills and advance professionally, regardless of their location or role. In 2018, the first pilots were completed in Nigeria to test the solution. Since then, Tembo’s reach has grown exponentially. From 2020, the whole MSF movement adopted the solution committing to a mutualization of the solution and resources, while developing a range of educational content for the growing community of learners.
