At Results for Development, we focus on ensuring that change agents have the resources, insights and connections they need to improve learning and ensure that all children have the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

Working side by side with programmatic and funding partners who share our values and principles, we aim to strengthen education systems so that they serve all children at all stages — from early childhood development to primary and secondary school learning, to ensuring that adolescents and young adults have the skills they need to find work and succeed in life.

A key element of our approach is to foster practitioner communities where education innovators, policymakers and others can learn from one another and collaborate on solutions. Many of these communities were modeled after the highly successful Joint Learning Network for Universal Health Coverage (JLN), which was co-founded by R4D.

• R4D designed and currently manages the Center for Education Innovations (CEI)­­, a network of more than 750 highly engaged education innovators. The network is the largest of its kind and an important medium for identifying promising approaches and up-and-coming programs, while also serving as an important channel for pushing cutting-edge research, practical tools and emerging best practices, such as the Early Learning Toolkit, directly to practitioners.

• R4D and the International Step by Step Association lead the Early Childhood Workforce Initiative (ECWI) — a global effort to support and empower those who work with families and young children under age 8. Through rigorous analysis and collaborative learning activities, ECWI equips country decision-makers with the capacity and resources to support the development of a quality early childhood workforce at scale.

• R4D is spearheading the development of a collaborative learning network for education systems change that will connect global education leaders and provide practical knowledge, tools and peer support to improve educational outcomes.

We’re also applying our adaptive learning approach to help education programs unlock solutions to challenges that make it difficult for them to grow and improve. We work with programs to understand challenges, design, experiment with and refine solutions and then rapidly evaluate the impact of those solutions to inform program decision-making in real-time:

• In India, R4D is working with Mobile Reading to Children (MR2C) to promote literacy by encouraging parents and caregivers to read to and with young children.

• In Sierra Leone, R4D is partnering with the Rising Academies Network — a small chain of low-fee private schools — to conduct formative research and rapid experiments to best meet the needs of struggling readers.

In addition to the core activities highlighted above, we are advancing the conversation about how to sustainably finance education, including through the use of innovative approaches, and pioneering analyses on the economic losses that result from children being out of school.
