Inclusive and Holistic Education
Education data helps decision-makers identify trends and develop actionable solutions. To support streamlined systems, DG provides technical input and field assistance to improve data utility and interoperability. Our digital tools make education data easier to access, analyze, visualize, and share, enhancing its use by policymakers, administrators, and researchers.
Hewlett Foundation Education Project: Evidence-Informed Policymaking
In order to holistically understand the barriers to more effective data accessibility, sharing, and use, DG—together with education sector experts from IREX—mapped the education data and decision ecosystems in Kenya and Senegal, focusing on primary and secondary education. By gathering in-depth information on barriers around the use of education data, DG facilitated the possibility for targeted interventions that, ultimately, will create robust education data ecosystems and better learning outcomes in Kenya and Senegal.
Early Grade Education Activity Program
Led by our strategic partner IREX, DG is supporting Jordan’s efforts to strengthen inclusive early grade education for students in kindergarten to grade three over a 5 year period through the ASAS program. Through ASAS, DG’s globally-based team will supply technical expertise and in-country assistance to enhance data usage and interoperability related to pre-service teacher education programs, continual professional development, institutional capacity, and quality assurance.

At a Glance | Evidence-Informed Policymaking: Education Data-Driven Decision Mapping in Kenya and Senegal
Development Gateway: An IREX Venture (DG) and our strategic partner IREX, supported by the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, conducted a study of the education data systems in Kenya and Senegal. In our findings from this study, we underscore the necessity of a harmonized approach to education data management and share insights that provide a valuable roadmap for future reforms and investments in education data systems.
