Never before has this been achieved for education, where access to accurate information on what has worked in different geographic contexts is needed now more than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This common commitment from education organizations comes as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evidencesic.org\/\">Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative<\/a> (ESIC)\u2014an initiative led by the Wellcome Trust\u2014announces a USD 126 million investment in establishing a global evidence architecture to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) before the 2030 deadline.&nbsp;ESIC is supported by 35+ cross-sector organizations, including the Jacobs Foundation.&nbsp;This education sector initiative is a foundational investment in the ESIC road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full \u2018Statement of Intent\u2019 below is co-signed by: Alive, Campbell Collaboration, Centre for Evidence and Implementation (CEI), Durham University, Education.org, The Education Collaboratory at Yale, Education Endowment Foundation, Education Sub Saharan Africa (ESSA), Effective Basic Services (eBASE) Africa, EPPI Center, ESRC, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Future Evidence Foundation, Innovations for Poverty Action, Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies, International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), Jacobs Center, Jacobs Foundation, SUMMA | Laboratorio de Investigaci\u00f3n e Innovaci\u00f3n en Educaci\u00f3n para Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe, The LEGO Foundation, Porticus, viaEd, Wellcome Trust, and the What Works Hub for Global Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group left-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"my-ad\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><strong>STATEMENT OF INTENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"my-ad\"><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A collective initiative to support evidence synthesis and use in education<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Much of the USD 5.8 trillion spent on education every year is not guided by evidence on what we know about children and learning. While the education evidence base is growing fast, challenges persist around evidence synthesis, translation, and use. For example, synthesizing evidence into clear, trustworthy policy- and practitioner-friendly guidelines is unnecessarily expensive and time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, we are delighted to announce this collective initiative to build and test a synthesis-ready evidence repository for the education sector. Together, we will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u2022 Pool existing evidence data with a co-created sector taxonomy into a shared repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u2022 Conduct a global and open RFP for evidence intermediaries and EdLabs (particularly in the Global South) to test a \u201cminimum viable product\u201d of the repository during 2026, by producing syntheses in response to country-based policy and practice needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The repository will be a \u2018back-end tool\u2019 designed to make the work of evidence intermediaries much more efficient. It will build upon and support a broader evidence synthesis infrastructure coalescing around the Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative (ESIC). It is an important step in making user-centred and contextually relevant synthesis the norm, especially in resource-constrained environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on what we learn during 2026, we aim to scale the initiative much further in 2027. We intend that this relatively small investment in evidence infrastructure will have an exponential impact on children\u2019s learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Jacobs Foundation, we see this collaboration as a cornerstone of our long-term commitment to transforming education systems.
