In response to the challenge of quality of learning, Advancing the Right to Read Program was designed. Implemented in the Gasabo and Ngororero districts of Rwanda, the project aimed at increasing school readiness skills, knowledge and attitudes for children aged 4-6 years for a later performance. To understand the impact of the ELM project on children’s learning and development and caregivers’ attitude towards childcare related to children’s learning, an impact evaluation study was conducted.
