This is a five-year project to rigorously evaluate and estimate costs of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) investments in early literacy and access to education in conflict settings in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. Mathematica is currently leading multi-year studies in four countries (Guatemala, Peru, Honduras, and Nicaragua). The evaluations are using randomized controlled trial designs as well as implementation and qualitative studies. One of the primary goals of this contract is to conduct capacity-building workshops and activities with local researchers to build their capacity in conducting rigorous research and engage them in key roles on the evaluation implementation. The project also involves a costing component for each intervention backed by basic education support from USAID.
