During the CDE pilot, communities were given the goal of “improving education”, but this goal was too broad, caused confusion, and did not inspire creative, context-specific thinking. A more precise goal that can still result in infinite types of projects will help communities engage in a meaningful way Attendance is an indicator of community confidence and interest in their local education institution. Therefore, both of GPFD’s inputs (improved infrastructure and community/school engagement) directly impact the goal of reducing absenteeism Examples of projects that directly affect absenteeism can still be anything they could have been under the Leadership Model. Examples include: Classrooms to address overcrowding and poor learning conditions Sanitation blocks, especially to support girls who may miss school during menstruation Water systems because children are spending time getting water instead of going to school Roads because children may not be able to get to school in the rainy season Etc. etc. etc. Global Partners’ school infrastructure work may not quickly and directly impact other learning outcomes, so we should focus on an achievable goal while still assessing projects for other outcomes as well  A specific indicator makes it easier to identify sites at which to do our work (those with the highest ratio of enrolled to attending students). It also makes it possible to set a clear geographic goal (i.e. improving attendance rates by X% throughout the Singida Rural District by X date). This will make us more likely to achieve funding from foundations and other development actors.
