There are not many low-hanging fruit in global development. Ending lead poisoning, an on-going, profound and preventable threat, could be the rare exception! We must act now! cgdev.org/blog/why-endin…

Malawi’s progress raising learning levels shows potential to accelerate improvements throughout Africa. Malawi’s leadership on foundational learning throughout the AU Year of Education in 2024 will be crucial. #endlearningpoverty Benjamin Piper Robert Jenkins USAID Education

Take off for the Global Partnership for Education Board Meeting to discuss how scaling and learning outcomes really take off ensuring access for the most marginalized, including refugees, and mitigating the impacts of lead poisoning on learning outcomes. #endlearningpoverty USAID Education Center for Global Development

"In the fight against global lead poisoning, President Biden can...increase the world's faith in American leadership in a period when it is being tested. It is high time that the US lead the effort to find and defeat this silent killer." thehill.com/opinion/health…

Thrilled to hear Samantha Power declare @ #USAIDGEC that fighting #lead is now a top USAID priority. Killing more people annually than HIV & malaria combined, #poisoning could explain 20% of kids' learning gap in LMICs. LeAnna Marr BasicEduCoalition usaid.gov/news-informati…

The Catalyze Edufinance activity in South Africa is a total win/win. With access to affordable quality early childhood education and childcare, women's labor force participation globally would increase 40% and more kids would start school ready to thrive! usaid.gov/stories/care-e…
