Have you shared this data with Government as way of buy-in for government support to Pre- primary education?

What are you doing around engaging government? Have you had a platform where this data has been shared and appreciated by the key ministries?

Have you shared this data with Government as way of buy-in for government support to Pre- primary education?

The data is being shared at the district and national level with key government officials and other stakeholders in the education sector. We hope it will be used to inform the design and implementation of other early childhood development programmes and help the government to better understand how to effectively measure early learning – and clearly communicate results.

What are you doing around engaging government? Have you had a platform where this data has been shared and appreciated by the key ministries?

The implementing partner is part of a network of organisations implementing ECD programming in the country. The results and findings are shared via that platform for learning and advocacy, as well as national-level technical working groups under the Ministry of Education and Sports for early primary and basic education, which our research organisation also sits on. Data-sharing, and learning from the study’s findings, is an ongoing process that will continue in the months ahead as engagement opportunities arise and policy ‘windows of opportunity’ open up for additional learning and sharing.
