Education and skills

We can:

• Undertake project shaping based on robust data analysis, assessment of viable options and stakeholder consultation to ensure evidence based decisions.
• Design investable programmes so education ministries can improve access to funding from finance institutions.
• Provide technical advice from world leading education specialists who can solve complex multidimensional problems such as learning outcomes, gender inequality, disability inclusion or climate resilience as part of education reforms.
• Offer policy and planning advice on how to shape regulatory frameworks and guidelines to support sustainable improvements in education practices.

We can help you:

• Implement system wide changes at national, regional and local levels to improve teaching and learning, monitor performance and respond to problems as they arise.
• Strengthen governance in partnership with policymakers and school leaders to improve school management and school supervision and to target resources effectively where they are most needed.
• Build local capabilities through targeted training, skills development and systems for sharing knowledge.
• Improve monitoring and evaluation within education systems through the collection of quality, authentic data, the accurate interpretation of data and the appropriate use of evidence in decision making.  
• Develop standard models for improving teaching capability, lesson plans and student workbooks, in partnership with education institutions.

We can:

• Monitor and evaluate interventions in local contexts and use implementation evidence to inform the future design of education initiatives.
• Provide quality assurance to demonstrate programme achievements to finance ministries and international donors.
• Use digital tools to enhance the collection and use of data by governments and project teams, widen access to evidence about what’s working, and inform decision making.

We can help you:

• Create safe and inclusive school environments that increase participation and improve educational achievement for marginalised groups, such as targeted support for children with visual impairments, peer mentoring via girls’ clubs and the distribution of menstrual hygiene kits.
• Strengthen connections with teachers and school leaders, families, religious leaders, young people and community groups to remove barriers to learning. 
• Tackle violence in schools through a coordinated, multisectoral response, including establishing government protocols for handling cases and support for victims and their families.
