This session was conducted by presenting evidence-based approaches from their toolkit. They also discussed scaling up, cost-effectiveness, monitoring and evaluation as part of program management strategies.The Early Learning Toolkit is based on rigorous evidence collected from Hewlett funded evaluations of innovative education interventions, as well as direct input from wide cross-sections of programs, that CEI is involved in.
