Quality education with sustainable results
The Worlddidac Quality Charter (WQC) is a quality certification for companies who participate in educational projects worldwide.The certification goes beyond existing ISO standards and also provides the assurance that a company has the capacity to deliver products and services that contribute to quality education and sustainable results for the country to be  served. Specifically, holders of the WQC must observe the goals of the international development organisations in their business policy.

To increase the effectiveness of learning and teaching
Worlddidac is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness of learning and teaching by promoting the best products available.The WQC was created in this context in close cooperation with multilateral funding agencies, development organisations and representatives of donor countries.

Designed to serve changing needs
Worlddidac as an independent international association administers the evaluation of companies who may qualify for the WQC.The WQC evaluation board,composed of international education and industry experts, examines whether applicants fulfill all  necessary criteria to hold the WQC. The certification is awarded for a three-year period and is subject to regular re-evaluations in consideration of changing business structures and emerging new needs in education. In particular, the three-year re-evaluation period guarantees the recipients of products and services that the supplying companies are innovative and committed to the education sector.

More predictability in the implementation of multilateral projects
The Worlddidac Quality Charter helps to create predictable outcomes in multilateral projects right from the start. Procurement processes become more transparent and easier to manage for the implementing agencies in the recipient countries. On the other hand, the stakeholders such as funders or end-users can be confident that the actual performance of a company corresponds with the offered products and services.
