Center for Education Innovations
United States of America
Funded by the UK’s Department for International Development, the Center for Education Innovations (CEI) strives to increase access to quality, affordable, and equitable education for the world’s poor using a three-pronged approach: IDENTIFY: CEI provides comprehensive, up-to-date information about non-state programs with the potential to improve the way education systems operate for the poor. ANALYZE: CEI analyzes programs in order to translate good practices and build the body of research on non-state innovations and their role in education. CONNECT: CEI connects those who are implementing, funding, and analyzing programs in order to facilitate the growth and adaptation of successful models. To promote the growth and adaptation of promising innovations, country-based activities that complement the online platform are driven by both the CEI team at the Results for Development Institute (R4D) and a network of CEI hubs. Currently, CEI hubs cover India, East Africa, and South Africa. The CEI team at R4D covers additional regions by reaching out to programs directly. CEI seeks to emulate the success of the Center for Health Market Innovations, a companion R4D initiative that is now the world’s largest freely accessible information resource of innovations in the non-state health sector.
