Description

The India Partnerships for Early Learning (IPEL) activity will improve early learning outcomes through a system strengthening approach in at least two, and up to three states. The activity will support state governments and institutions by increasing their capacity to leverage and coordinate financial, human, and material resources to implement evidence-based service delivery in foundational learning, such that the percentage of students attaining minimum proficiencies in reading, math, cognitive, and social and emotional domains steadily increase. IPEL will utilize its convening power, global technical expertise in early learning and complementary USAID/India supported programs to mobilize capital and forge partnerships with the private sector and NGOs to achieve shared development outcomes.
