Mapping community connections for impact at scale and Lessons from a year of school closures
Webinar
About the Event
Pratham focuses on high-quality, low-cost, and replicable interventions to address gaps in the education system. Established in 1995 to provide education to children in the slums of Mumbai, Pratham has grown both in scope and geographical coverage.
The Measurement, Monitoring and Evaluation Team (MME), established in 2013, has played an integral role in ensuring that Pratham, its partners in the community and the government have analytically and effectively acted upon using data generated from the large scale programs. The MME team has built and sustained a culture of data-backed decision-making within Pratham and its partners.
During unprecedented school closures in the past year, the team swiftly innovated its approach to collecting data remotely, thereby continuing to inform program strategy, content, and implementation decisions. Through the session we will showcase how building the connection between communities and measuring the impact of interventions has helped in the evolution of Pratham’s interventions. These sessions will cover the innovations in delivery methods and measurement frameworks for impact evaluation.

In the past decade, there has been an increasing focus on 21st Century Skills, especially life skills, communication skills, and digital literacy. With the nationwide school closure in March 2020, a growing need for life skills amongst adolescents was felt.
Pratham adapted their life skills sessions as a remote module for the adolescents. In this session, the speaker will share their experience from the ground on delivering content through technology, in a low-touch, low-tech model.
