The Bernard van Leer Foundation awarded R4D a grant to begin assessing the potential pipeline for an Early Learning Challenge in Kenya and Tanzania.

The R4D Education team, consisting currently of Managing Director Nicholas Burnett and Program Officer Shubha Jayaram, will investigate promising models for sustainable, accessible innovative early childhood service delivery, explore strategies to galvanize investment and develop an implementation plan which includes governance and management structures.

The Transparency and Accountability Program (TAP) is pleased to announce that its 2010 grant round is now open. TAP will sponsor up to five organizations to design and implement a series of related research and advocacy projects that focus on improving how money is being spent and how services are being delivered in the health and education sectors at the national, sub-national, and/or local level in their countries.
