Launched in 2020, USAID’s Leading Through Learning Global Platform is a global education learning system, for USAID and partners, to enhance thought leadership and education program quality.
Our vision is to provide avenues for local, regional and global knowledge generation and sharing, and to elevate the experience of the field to enhance education program quality. Join us!
This learning system includes three Learning Networks, and Regional Hubs, which anyone is welcome to join, anytime.

Learning Networks are focused on a particular technical area, and they include the:
- USAID Education in Crisis and Conflict Network
- USAID Global Reading Network
- USAID Higher Education Learning Network
Regional Hubs are focused on a particular region, and help localize the learning system. One location is determined to be Washington, D.C.; the other two locations are in the process of selection. Each regional hub has a chapter for each of the Learning Networks.
Members can:
- Register for events with global colleagues
- Enroll in professional development courses
- Co-create with your global peers
Members can collaborate on topics that you raise, such as piloting and revising the USAID Literacy Landscape Assessment Toolkit, attending a training on Social and Emotional Learning, or reviewing the Financing Disability Inclusive Education Landscape Review.
The USAID Leading Through Learning Global Platform supports the USAID Education Policy and USG Education Strategy through knowledge generation and sharing to improve education quality. Join us!
