Series 3: Webinar Two
Scaling what works to improve childhood outcomes
Tuesday 26 Nov 2024
8am SGT | 11am AEDT | 1pm NZDT
Across all social service fields, it is a sad fact that effective, evidence-backed ideas and innovations generally fail to reach everyone who could benefit.
While there are many promising small-scale innovations, few ever make the leap to large-scale impact. And lasting systemic change – that might improve population-level outcomes – remains elusive.
​
This webinar unpacks the nuances of scaling up effective policy innovations in the field of early childhood development. Our global experts will offer insights into how the path to scale can be found – and widened – by the joint work of practitioners, policymakers and leaders.

From evidence to strategy: Using what we learn to influence what we do
Tuesday 24 September 2024
Dr Suneeta Krishnan, Deputy Director India Country Office,

Dr Robyn Mildon, CEO Centre for Evidence and Implementation
In opening her conversation with CEI’s CEO Dr Robyn Mildon, Suneeta underlined the “fundamental” role of evidence at the Gates Foundation. Data is not only used to identify which challenges to focus on, and what resources and comparative advantages might assist, but also in working out how to adapt and be locally relevant, and to create regular feedback loops that enable continual correction throughout implementation.
