Best buys may deliver quick wins, but we believe smart investments—like social accountability—build lasting change by prioritizing relationships. Tom explains why in this must-read 2-part blog. Co-author of our recent ex-post report "Layering Social Accountability Interventions to Strengthen Local Education Systems," Tom outlines important distinctions between a "best buy" vs. a "smart investment." Best buys oversimplify the journey toward sustained systems change. Tom argues that we need smart investments—“alternative approaches to assessing the value of interventions that consider implementation context, political economy, and relationships as primary rather than secondary concerns." An example of this complex programming is social accountability, which is about more than delivering tools or training. As Tom puts it, "Accountability is about relationships (but) relationships aren’t something you deliver like providing information on the value of education or a training on lesson plans…". By prioritizing the development of strong relational infrastructures, social accountability can foster trust and collaboration among local stakeholders. In the Dominican Republic, the ex-post report shows that this relational approach was crucial in navigating complex political and social landscapes, ensuring the resilience and effectiveness of education reforms. Change wasn’t just about tools or methods—it was about people. A "loose network" of actors connected project initiatives with the broader education system, paving the way for incremental, ongoing change. At Word Vision, we believe community-led social accountability, like our Citizen Voice and Action approach, is a powerful "smart investment" that can contribute to strengthening local systems by fostering locally driven, culturally relevant, and impactful reforms.

We want simple answers to difficult questions and quick fixes to complex problems that (magically) deliver sustainable impact. What's "best practice" or a "best buy" is the wrong question to ask and full of problematic biases. M. Florencia Guerzovich and I wrote a blog about the perils of such thinking and why it is the wrong way to think about evidence and how it connects to the kind of changes we want (and need) in the world today: https://lnkd.in/eQb5AyQV This partly emerged through to a recent ex-post evaluation we did in the Dominican Republic which you can read here: https://lnkd.in/eYDSwrWE Part 1 or 2.

World Vision celebrates the passage of the READ Act Reauthorization Act that just passed Congress! In a world where 250 million children are out of school and 70% of children in low- and middle-income countries are unable to understand a simple written text by the age of 10, this bipartisan bill is crucial to building a world where all children, especially girls and children with disabilities, have access to a quality education. The READ Act creates a whole of government strategy to increase foundational literacy and numeracy skills and tracks progress through a yearly report on programs that implement basic education programs. Thank you to Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Grace Meng (D-NY) and Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) for leading these efforts, working to get this bill passed, and for your continued support of basic education. #WVAdvocacy #READAct

How do we build resilience in a world of constant shocks and stresses? Our 2024 multisectoral resilience framework offers innovative, evidence-based solutions that program and policymakers can use to help vulnerable communities navigate challenges and thrive. Unveiled during our Road to Resilience webinar, the framework defines resilience as a multi-dimensional phenomenon, requiring attention to mindset, process and capacity to sustainably navigate stressors, shocks and reduce vulnerability. The framework is a timely and actionable roadmap for addressing the compounding challenges faced by communities in fragile contexts—from climate extremes to economic shocks. It tackles root vulnerabilities, prioritizes local agency, and emphasizes inclusivity, gender equality, and adaptive learning for sustainable, long-term impact. Aligned with global sustainable development goals, the World Vision resilience framework supports coherence across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus, promoting solutions that are effective, scalable, and transformative. Download the framework today to explore how we're helping communities protect and improve their well-being in the face of constant shocks and stresses. https://lnkd.in/eMDc3m_6 #Resilience #Sustainability #HumanitarianImpact #InclusiveDevelopment #USAID

What’s the secret to successful school meal programs? It’s about more than just food—it’s about strong systems, local leadership, and collaboration. In a new blog, Serena Stepanovic and Mary Njeri dive into how systems design, multisectoral collaboration, local leadership, and public-private partnerships are transforming school meal programs to nourish children and build resilient communities. As proud sponsors of the #GlobalChildNutritionForum, where we gathered with global leaders and experts this past week, we’re grateful for this insightful piece that highlights the strategies shaping the future of school feeding. 📖 Read the blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/e32jWT7h Thank you, Serena and Mary, for shedding light on this critical work! #ChildNutrition #Sustainability #Collaboration #GCNF2024 Global Child Nutrition Foundation

The #GlobalChildNutritionForum concluded with powerful lessons, meaningful connections, and inspiring visits to schools in Osaka, where we witnessed Japan’s outstanding school feeding programs in action. At Kansai University School, it was clear that school meals go beyond nutrition—they teach life skills, foster community, and nurture values that last a lifetime. Students showcased impressive preparation and mindfulness: 🔶 Washing their hands and wearing aprons before serving. 🔶 Carefully serving themselves just enough to minimize waste. 🔶 Practicing patience, table manners, and community responsibility. 🔶 Coming together to express gratitude before enjoying their meal. These visits were a rewarding reminder of how school meals can instill lifelong habits while bringing communities closer together. Throughout the forum, we championed approaches that scale local solutions and build sustainable systems for school meal programs like this one. We appreciated the opportunity to strengthen partnerships and engage with USDA officials and government representatives from Zambia and Malawi to expand initiatives like home-grown school feeding. And we were pleased to see that our booth and workshops sparked vibrant dialogue, inspiring participants to consider local and regional procurement (LRP) strategies to empower farmers and reduce food waste while creating sustainable school meal systems–and explore impactful programs implementing these approaches in Mozambique, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Angola, and beyond. As we reflect on this week’s key insights, three priorities stand out: 🔶 School meals are more than food—they teach lifelong skills and foster a sense of community. 🔶 Expanding local solutions like LRP strengthens farmers and reduces waste, making programs more sustainable. 🔶 Collaboration and innovation are essential to scaling impact, particularly in fragile contexts where solutions are needed most. Thank you to the Global Child Nutrition Forum, Kansai University School, and all our partners for making this forum a success. Together, we’re building a future where every child has the nourishment and opportunity they need to thrive. 📸 See this week’s highlights from transformative conversations and school visits—and learn more at https://lnkd.in/eacmtewD #ChildNutrition #Sustainability #GlobalCollaboration #FoodSystemsTransformation #WorldVision #GCNF2024 USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Global Child Nutrition Foundation Catholic Relief Services
