About Us

Nit3allam is a knowledge and skill sharing platform dedicated to empowering communities with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to effectively participate in civic, economic, and social spheres.

With an initial focus on Sudan and interest in Africa and the MENA region, Nit3allam strives to create and disseminate accessible, educational, on-demand courses through engaging audiovisual content, tailored to learners from conflict-affected countries.

Course themes aim to strengthen elements of socially cohesive, peaceful and developed societies and pathways to civic mobilization, economic empowerment, volunteering and associated practices related to community service, to foster conscious and intentional citizenry. Courses cover a diversity of topics suitable for a wide range of learners including human rights defenders, civil society actors and individuals interested in civic participation, creativity and critical thinking.

The platform showcases the perspectives and experiences of experts from different backgrounds, regions, and cultures, and aims to cover a wide range of topics that intersect social, cultural, scientific, and economic themes in a neutral manner and in clear colloquial language. Nit3allam is user-friendly and offers low-threshold access to information, especially important for those in rural and geographically remote areas in conflict or post-conflict nations.

Mission

Nit3allam empowers learners in conflict-affected and marginalized communities by providing accessible, engaging, and relevant educational content that promotes civic engagement, economic resilience, and social cohesion.

Vision

To be an integral platform in creating inclusive, peaceful, and progressive societies by equipping individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and global awareness to meaningfully participate in uplifting their communities.

Background and Approach

Digital civic education provides on-demand, interactive, engaging, and personalized learning experiences that foster knowledge, skills, and values. At Andariya, a veteran digital media enterprise, we are cognizant of the growing reliance and potential of online resources to impart values on audiences.

Building on Andariya’s established experience and networks in education in Sudan and the East and Horn of Africa region, we launched Nit3allam in collaboration with the best Sudanese educators, content creators and community advocates.

Since its establishment in 2015, Andariya has produced hundreds of easily digestible and in-depth multimedia content. As our content and audience members grew over the years, we noticed the increased participation and interest of younger demographics in civic mobilization following the example of Sudanese youth's participation in civic affairs. Leveraging our track-record of producing high quality research and locally-driven content, we created Nit3allam to support communities' active participation in civic affairs by providing high-quality and context-aware short-courses through Nit3allam.

Nit3allam supports critical thinking and problem-solving skills, by exposing learners to complex and controversial topics, and challenging them to analyze and evaluate information to find practical and actionable solutions. All courses are designed and delivered by local experts with lived experience of the local context and a tangible track-record of building capacity.

Through an iterative and participatory process, course material is created, reviewed, and evaluated for information accuracy, engagement, context, and gender sensitivity. Once complete, it is post-produced with the highest quality to ensure aiding visuals and graphic motions enhance the learner experience.

Nit3allam offers innovative, self-paced and affordable educational content to young and mature learners interested in influencing their lived reality through voluntary and civic action focused on post-war communities beginning with Sudan. Nit3allam is more than an educational resource. It is a community building platform direly needed by a generation of civilians affected by displacement and conflict who wish to alter this distressing reality.

The platform functions as both an interactive educational platform and a digital community - connecting civic mobilizers from various conflict-affected countries to learn and share experiences. Grounded in the unfolding participation of youth in civic mobilization both online and offline, Nit3allam presents a means to nurture young minds through education and engagement with qualified locally-attuned professionals online.
