About Partnerships for Tech in Education (P4T-Ed)
The Partnerships for Tech in Education (P4T-Ed) initiative by Innovations for Poverty Action and the Jacobs Foundation, aims to unlock the potential of technology to enhance learning outcomes globally, by fostering a long-term, evidence-based approach in EdTech.
In order to achieve these goals and building on the lessons from IPA’s review of the EdTech evidence landscape, P4T-Ed will pursue the following activities:
- Strengthening Research and Testing (R&T): Enhancing the capability of approximately 20 EdTech implementing organizations to conduct and utilize R&T for program refinement. Our third call for expressions of interest (EOIs) for R&T partnerships is now closed. We plan to open another round by the end of 2025 or beginning of 2026. Please reach out to p4t@poverty-action.org with any questions.
- Conducting Impact Evaluations: Undertaking three impact evaluations on promising, policy-relevant interventions in Ghana, Colombia and/or Côte d'Ivoire to provide policymakers and funders with credible evidence and insights on how to enable better evidence generation and use. For more information on the impact evaluations, their selection process, and their timeline, please reach out to us at p4t@poverty-action.org.
- Synthesizing sector-wide Learnings: Aggregating and disseminating findings to promote a broader understanding and application of effective EdTech practices.
The combination of advisory partnerships and impact evaluations will provide a rich set of learnings that cut across every stage of EdTech providers’ evidence journeys.
If you are a funder interested in leveraging on P4T-Ed or have questions about the initiative, please reach out to us at p4t@poverty-action.org.
