Summary:
The research project, Improving Literacy for Children Through the Support of Community Networks explores how community-based actors such as teachers, community leaders, volunteers, parents and school administrators, interact with the formal education sector to implement and support community literacy activities to improve girls’ and boys’ reading fluency within distinct local learning contexts in Ghana, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
The research provides evidence on factors that enable and hinder collaborative stakeholder networks that advance sustainable, scalable, gender-responsive and inclusive education programming for early-grade students (grades 1-3) to improve children’s literacy levels within vulnerable populations.
This IDRC-GPE KIX funded research was carried out by World Vision (Canada, Ghana, Nicaragua & Honduras), Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Ghana and Foro Social para la Deuda Externa y Desarrollo de Honduras (FOSDEH).
