The LRC team is responsible for the coordination of the creation of the portal. A team of 7 lecturers was trained in web design and volunteers a number of hours per week to develop the websites for the teachers colleges and other links.

The LRC was established by the Kenya Technical Teachers College (KTTC) funded by the Flemish Office for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance (VVOB), with additional support by UNESCO.

The site was developed to network all teacher training colleges in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda as part of establishing a site that would include all educational institutions in Eastern Africa.
