Evaluation Philosophy

Educate!’s impact measurement philosophy relies on periodic, rigorous external evaluations to measure medium- and long-term outcomes. Our model has been extensively evaluated, including through two randomized controlled trials of our programs in Uganda and Rwanda. For these evaluations Educate! is currently partnering with researchers from the University of California, Berkeley; Innovations for Poverty Action; Oregon State University; and the World Bank, with funding from the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL). These evaluations are examining our impact on the following outcomes: 21st-century skills development, educational attainment, community involvement and leadership, as well as economic outcomes.
