In an era of shrinking aid, @UNICEF projects a $3.2B cut in education aid by 2026. We can’t afford platitudes like “do more with less.” We must be smarter with what we have. Evidence shows: 📊 ✅ 3x larger results ✅ 10x the scale ✅ 1/100th the cost #DisruptToDeliver #UNGA80

Programs like FLIGHT and FLOAT in SA show that talent and expertise exist in SSA. We need to mobilize resources around them. The challenge is real, but the tools are here. By being smarter with limited resources, we can scale what works and reimagine funding for education.

The good news? Many ministers are ready to make those tough choices, and new evidence is emerging to guide them. For example: ~$6 per child per year is enough to fund a light-touch, evidence-based program that drives results.

The bad news 📉: The funding environment has dramatically shifted. And our sector hasn’t responded fast enough. Ministers face tough choices—not just reallocating within education, but balancing sector-wide pressures in a crisis.

This month we’ve seen some of the best longitudinal evidence linking early grade learning to economic growth. Compared to the US domestic Ed space: learning outcomes 3x bigger, at 10x the scale, at 1/100th of the cost. Proof that smart investments work

We hear a lot of platitudes: “do more with less.” The reality: it’s about being smarter with what we have. The good news 📈: Evidence shows we can improve learning outcomes at scale with domestic resources.
