This webinar spotlighted the Middle-Tier Implementation Research Initiative. It featured insights from teams running implementation research with government counterparts in Zambia, India, Nigeria, South Africa, and Namibia, including discussions of what they’re testing, the questions they’re asking, and what they’re learning so far.

Speakers joined from:

  • Department of Basic Education (DBE), South Africa
  • FHI 360, Nigeria
  • Language & Learning Foundation (LLF), India
  • Meerkat Learning, Namibia
  • VVOB, Zambia.

This session also facilitated discussions among implementers and researchers on how research and practice are coming together to understand the middle tier’s role in delivering foundational learning at scale.
