Our Approach
Implementation Research questions are critical for achieving outcomes at scale. Small tweaks to core programme elements, like materials, training, and support, can optimise implementation and learning. Implementation research can also help us to identify bottlenecks, improve uptake into government systems and fidelity of existing programmes.
Each initiative we fund and research with our grantees will focus on one specific issue and every time we work on a new initiative we will:
Prioritize implementers and government priorities
We will design and prioritize initiatives which governments and implementers on the ground demand and feel advance their work.
Deepen Understanding Beyond "What Works"
By exploring where, for whom, and how interventions are effective, establishing this as the new standard for global education evidence.
Drive Evidence-Based Continuous Improvement
By supporting implementers and government systems in adapting, testing, and refining programmes, embedding learning and iterative improvement as standard practice.
Make Small Grants available for Fund and Support High-Impact Implementation Research
By providing nimble, funding and market-driven technical assistance to generate actionable evidence in foundational learning programmes at scale.
Advance Global Thought Leadership and promote Systematic Understanding
By developing and contributing to frameworks, tools, and open-access evidence that inform broader sector practice and contribute to global public goods. This includes advancing rapid iterative learning techniques such as A/B testing, among others.
