Since our founding, we have reached 61 countries. While the scope of our work in those countries has expanded and changed over the years, our commitment to improving the lives and learning of girls and boys has not. Wherever we work, we embody our enduring values and apply the lessons we have learned from developing the Whole Child Model, providing partners with our expertise in research and evaluation, curriculum and training, policy and planning, and integrated approaches to education.
Our Expertise
Research and Evaluation
We conduct assessments of student learning outcomes and teacher training, lead process and program performance evaluations, and research related topics, such as girls’ education, teacher motivation, and the use of technology for job training.
Curriculum and Training
We provide technical support for curriculum and materials development, teacher professional development, life skills-based health education, girls’ education, early grade reading and math, and accelerated and remedial education.
Planning and Policy
We work with funders, education partners, and ministries of education to develop strategic plans and theories of change, standards and benchmarks for student and teacher performance, education policy development, and education sector planning.
Integrated Approaches to Education
We have pioneered the Whole Child Model—an approach to early education that combines education, health, and engagement so that all students can thrive.
