We’re proud to announce that the Brink Foundation is partnering with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to enable better use of implementation research (IR) in global education.
This partnership will advance the goals of uBoraBora, an initiative launched in April 2024, which aims to continuously improve foundational literacy and numeracy in Sub-Saharan Africa. USAID’s support, provided through the Foundational Learning: Advancing Implementation Research for Scale (FLAIRS) award to Brink, along with co-investment from the Gates Foundation, will play a crucial role in driving this mission forward.
The focus of USAID funding will be to tackle the barriers that prevent implementation research evidence and approaches from being used, and find ways for implementation evidence to be more useful and applicable. This will include the creation of an “Evidence Studio” to support this. The uBoraBora team will also work directly with USAID missions and partners to expand the quality and quantity of implementation research happening directly through their foundational literacy and numeracy programmes.
We’re excited about the possibilities ahead and can’t wait to see the impact this partnership will make!
