What makes iterative A/B tests so powerful for social impact work? It’s the Three Rs: 🔹 Rigorous — causal evidence from randomized variations 🔹 Rapid — results in weeks or months 🔹 Regular — continuous learning cycle #MonitoringAndEvaluation #ImpactOptimization

📚 What would happen to the global economy if 90% of children could read by age 10? A new analysis of 114 countries finds that universal #FoundationalLearning would produce 🌍 +$196 trillion in economic output 👛 +27% in per capita GDP & more. ➡️ Read: buff.ly/xIy4MEd

Graphic saying: The learning dividend #1: The economic multiplier. What if 90% of 10-year-olds could read... $196 trillion in additional economic output. Universal foundational learning delivers better reading, school completion, higher skills, more & better jobs, stronger economies.

Graphic saying: The learning dividend #1: The economic multiplier. Fueling household and national prosperity. Achieving universal foundational learning in the present leads to +27% increase in per capita GDP (relates to increases in household incomes) leads to achieving long-term economic gains by 2050.

Graphic saying: The learning dividend #1: The economic multiplier. Universal foundational learning: The dividend for governments. $21.4 trillion in extra tax revenue. This revenue provides for health, education, and infrastructure investments.
