There is much focus on the “middle tier” in Education systems in low- and middle-income countries at present. The middle tier describes groups of professionals at county, zone, district or provincial level whose role is to monitor and support schools (UNESCO, 2025). They are the people who often become master trainers or are tasked with supporting the implementation of a new curriculum or new initiative. The middle tier acts as a mediator between policy makers (top leadership) and implementers (teachers). We have argued that they are key actors in the implementation of high quality TPD@Scale, but that they often lack the knowledge, skills, and professional development opportunities to carry out this role effectively.

The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany has partnered with World Vision International in Cambodia to deliver life‑saving nutrition and newborn care support to displaced families still living in safety centres across Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap and Preah Vihear. With a contribution of EUR 111,111.11, the project provides essential supplements and therapeutic foods for 2,500 children under five and 1,000 pregnant and lactating women, along with 200 newborn care kits for vulnerable mothers. The support builds on Germany’s earlier assistance in September 2025 and comes at a time when many families continue to face uncertainty and limited access to food and healthcare. The initiative is implemented in coordination with local authorities and health facilities to ensure effective and accountable delivery. World Vision Cambodia’s National Director, Janes I. Ginting, highlighted the ongoing hardships faced by displaced families and expressed gratitude to the German Embassy for its continued commitment. For mothers like Sreynoch, a first‑time mother living in a safety centre, the assistance brings both immediate relief and hope as families await a safe return home.
