Beginning in 2022, IPA has served as the Learning Partner for BRAC's Early Childhood and Graduation (ECG) project, a two-generation approach for supporting young children and their caregivers in refugee and host communities in Uganda.

This Learning Agenda was developed in 2022 at the start of the project. It summarizes relevant evidence on the Graduation and Humanitarian Play Lab interventions and documents the consultations and workshops with BRAC that were used to develop the agenda. It also describes the prioritized research questions and potential learning activities planned for the project. While the specific activities of the project have changed over time, this Learning Agenda documents the initial vision for the project.

The continued collaboration has included an intensive time use observational study, qualitative interviews with staff, and additional workshops with BRAC team members. Endline data collection is taking place in October and November 2025 to conclude the randomized evaluation that was included in the project.
