In the latest @wwhglobaled.bsky.social article by the CSAE's @noamangrist.bsky.social, @gamblingondev.bsky.social & co-authors, researchers argue that foreign aid has a continued & critical role to play & highlight specific & highly leveraged roles for foreign aid.

🆕 Doing more with less: Why foreign aid should prioritise foundational learning now By @noamangrist.bsky.social @blavatnikschool.bsky.social, Pia Britto @unicef.org, @gamblingondev.bsky.social, Michelle Kaffenberger @wwhglobaled.bsky.social, @deankarlan.bsky.social & @benlpiper.bsky.social ⤵️

Our new piece on the value of ODA spending on foundational learning. When spent well, a little can go a long way. A year of smart investments can deliver $100+ billion in lifetime returns. @wwhglobaled.bsky.social : www.wwhge.org/resources/do... @voxdev.bsky.social: voxdev.org/topic/educat...

💡NEW: It's time for foreign aid to prioritise foundational learning, argues @wwhglobaled.bsky.social. Their analysis shows that investing in just one year of foundational learning programmes boosts children's future earnings by $164 billion.👇 www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/news/experts...

Cuts to global education funding will cost at least $100 billion in lifetime earnings. 💸 How foreign aid cuts to foundational learning programmes will dramatically impact earnings? And what should be done given the shrinking budgets? 📖 Find out in our new blog: www.wwhge.org/resources/do...
