"Improving Early Childhood Development in Rural Ghana Through Scalable Community-Run Play Schemes"
Monday, February 1st, 2021 at 10:00 am EST

Dr. Krutikova will present findings from an evaluation of the impact of a scalable community-led play-based learning program on children’s cognitive development and health in rural Ghana. The Lively Minds program is a “hybrid” model that simultaneously targets home and pre-school environments through engaging parents in implementation of the programme in pre-schools. Encouraging results from this study motivated the government of Ghana to form a collaboration with Lively Minds and commit to a phased scaling the programme to 60 districts and 4,000 pre-schools, reaching 1.3 million children, starting in Septemeber 2021. Dr. Krutikova is working with the government of Ghana and Lively Minds to embed an RCT into this scale-up in order to evaluate its effectiveness. In this seminar, Dr. Krutikova will also discuss our plans for combining implementation and evaluation data to disentangle key ingredients for the success of this programme.

Dr. Sonya Krutikova, Deputy Research Director, The Institute for Fiscal studies
