November 2023 – USAID published an evidence brief that surveys the role of non-state actors in expanding access to quality ECE services that contribute to improved learning outcomes for children.
In addition to the direct provision of ECE, non-state actors also play a crucial role in quality assurance, including through the provision of teacher and pedagogy training and funding of monitoring and evaluation. The brief presents three case studies showcasing three distinct models of service delivery in three different regions. Each case study focuses on a successful non-state ECE intervention by analyzing the cross-cutting factors that contribute to its success in improving early learning outcomes for disadvantaged children.
