USAID Global Reading Network

The USAID Global Reading Network (GRN) is a community built by and for its members—dedicated to connecting basic education stakeholders to the ideas, evidence, practices, and people that can help them improve their work and make an impact in their communities.

The GRN’s overarching goal is to support quality learning outcomes across the continuum of basic education, including pre-primary through primary and youth levels.
