Anti Corruption Evidence ' ACE' Programme The Anti-Corruption Evidence (ACE) research consortium – led by SOAS, University of London - takes an innovative approach to anti-corruption policy and practice. With £6 million in funding over five years from UK aid, ACE is responding to the serious challenges facing people and economies affected by corruption by generating evidence that makes anti-corruption real and using those findings to help policymakers, business and civil society adopt new, feasible, high-impact strategies to tackle corruption.
Research and Evidence Programme for Nepal’s Transition The SOAS-Yale Nepal research and evidence programme is a three-way collaboration between SOAS and Yale. The unique feature of this programme is that SOAS and Yale researchers work directly with an FCDO country office to test assumptions underpinning FCDO policy to suggest improvements supporting inclusive growth and inclusive politics in a post-conflict context. We work with Nepali partner organizations (PEI and GovLab) who provide field researchers and organize data collection and collaborate with us on analysis. We hope to create a new model of embedded research with FCDO that has a high impact on policy.
Technology-supported learning: Innovation for the improvement of learning outcomes of vulnerable Children in Tanzania. Objective of the grant is to integrate Worldreader’s e-reader literacy support in 25 rural partner schools to support the transition between primary and secondary schooling.
Girls learn, succeed and lead Operating in synergy with Camfed's existing GEC-T project, the 'Girls learn, succeed and lead' project will replicate and build on successful strategies developed in Tanzania under Camfed’s GEC1 project in order to reach an additional cohort of marginalised girls to improve their transition, retention and learning in junior secondary school. The project will run in five additional regions in Tanzania (in 12 peri-urban districts) to meet the needs of around 7,000 girls.
A new ‘equilibrium’ for girls Under this project, Camfed is working in partnership with Pearson to transform educational opportunities for girls in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. 60,000 girls who have either dropped out of school or are at high risk of doing so will receive direct support to complete secondary education (40,000 in Zimbabwe, 20,000 in Tanzania). An additional 400,000 girls and boys in 970 rural secondary schools in 24 districts in Zimbabwe and 10 districts in Tanzania will benefit from actions to improve their learning and push up their results. CAMA, Camfed’s peer supported network of young women school-leavers will play a key role in delivery of this project as they roll out an innovative Learner Guide model.;
