Capacity Building

We help our partners maximize their impact by providing technical assistance and evidence-based recommendations to inform program design, implementation, and scaling.

The complex challenges facing students can’t be solved by research alone – it takes government agencies, community-based organizations, and community members working together to put research findings into practice. That’s why the Education Lab partners with agencies and organizations to build their capacity by embedding analysts in-house, conducting independent project evaluations, and providing data-driven tools and recommendations.
