The core of our work involves conducting national assessments and collecting data, and in some cases locally, representative data from households, schools, and local leadership, and releasing the reports to the public to ignite debates among citizens and leaders. Usawa Agenda also pursues a more direct (re)presentation of facts and evidence in decision-making platforms including the Parliamentary Committee on Education, teacher and parent associations and other task forces formed to think through education in general for direct persuasion. Media is always a critical platform in bringing citizens and leaders to the know of what affects education and learning.
We use various participatory approaches to engage with communities and local leaders by sharing reports and assessment findings to create awareness of the status of learning outcomes among children.
