Learning Agendas
USAID’s Office of Education uses a strategic approach to learning in order to focus our research, fill gaps in the evidence base, and improve outcomes to achieve our 2018 USAID Education Policy vision. To achieve these objectives, we worked with key stakeholders to develop learning priorities that span the spectrum of USAID’s education programming. They include:
Each learning agenda was produced in consultation with regional bureau education teams, mission staff, implementing partners, other donors, and education researchers.
