These best practices include an intensive utilization of evidence-based policy making, the granting of autonomy to a variety of stakeholders together with the expectation of accountability for results, community participation, incentives for reform, support for public-private partnerships (PPPs), and adaptive implementation. Research methods focus on the Science of Delivery case study guidelines, drawing on semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders to better understand the implementation process and analyze the causal mechanisms for results achieved. The case study highlights four key contributors to the Eko Project’s politically savvy, locally tailored and adaptive delivery approach: (i) it managed to build on collective leadership along the entire delivery chain, from the political leadership of the governor down to the professional leadership of classroom teachers; (ii) it bounced back from a setback in outcomes by strengthening data collection and analysis of results; (iii) it struck the right balance between external and internal implementation mechanisms to make the most of established institutions; and (iv) it aimed at macro-level impact by reaching down to individual learning achievements.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSKILLSSANITATIONEDUCATION STRATEGYEVALUATION OF EDUCATIONSCHOOL SYSTEMEFFECTIVE SCHOOLSBASIC EDUCATIONSCHOOL TEACHERSTEACHERSEDUCATION MANAGEMENTDROPOUT RATESCHOOL DATASCHOOLINGSCHOOL DROPOUTBASIC EDUCATION STRATEGYJUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLNUMERACYSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSCHOOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEESCONTEXTUAL FACTORSPRIMARY EDUCATION PROJECTREADING HABITSEDUCATION REFORMSLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTNATIONAL CURRICULUMSECONDARY CERTIFICATEGENDER PARITYLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTSPUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLSSENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLSPOOR PEOPLECOMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONLEARNING MATERIALSTEACHING MATERIALSTEACHER PERFORMANCESCHOOL CENSUSSCHOOL-AGE POPULATIONLITERACY RATESJUNIOR SECONDARY EDUCATIONCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONACCESS TO EDUCATIONLITERACYTEXTBOOKSKNOWLEDGECOLLEGE STAFFJUNIOR SECONDARYLEARNING ENVIRONMENTGENDER EDUCATIONSKILLED PEOPLEEDUCATION FOR ALLCOMPLETION RATESSCHOOL EFFECTIVENESSSCHOOL PRINCIPALSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGTEACHER TRAININGSCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANDEMAND FOR EDUCATIONSCHOOL COMMUNITYEDUCATORSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPRIVATE SCHOOLSSCHOOL HOURSSECONDARY SCHOOLSSCHOOL PROJECTOFFICIAL SCHOOL AGESECONDARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ATTENDANCEACHIEVEMENT OF OUTCOMESSCHOOL CURRICULUMVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONLEARNINGEDUCATION SYSTEMSCHOOL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER SALARIESSCHOOL STUDENTSCLASSROOM TEACHINGPRIMARY SCHOOLTEACHINGGROSS ENROLLMENTSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL-AGESCHOOL LEVELPROBLEM SOLVINGEXPERIENCED TEACHERSPRIMARY SCHOOLSSCHOOL MANAGEMENTLEARNERSREADINGGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESGENDER PARITY INDEXPUBLISHERSSCHOOL CLUSTERSSCHOOL YEARACCESS TO DATAFREE EDUCATIONDROPOUT RATESSCHOOL FACILITIESENROLLMENT RATESSKILLS TRAININGPUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESCHOOLSSCHOOL ATTENDANCEEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION SERVICESLEARNING OUTCOMESUNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATIONSTUDENT PERFORMANCEPROVISION OF EDUCATIONTEACHER RATIOSSCHOOL GRADUATESCLASSROOM LEVELINDIVIDUAL LEARNINGNATIONAL EDUCATIONSTUDENT SCORESREPORT CARDSQUALIFIED TEACHERSTEACHER DEPLOYMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSSTATE EDUCATIONSCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSPEECH DEVELOPMENTCURRICULUMTEACHEREDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESJUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLSQUALITY OF EDUCATION SERVICESPARTICIPATION OF PARENTSSCHOOL CLASSROOMSTEACHER RATIOBASIC LITERACYEDUCATIONSCHOOL PERFORMANCECLASSROOM TEACHERSSCHOOL OPERATIONSSCHOOL ADMINISTRATIONEDUCATIONAL ACCESSPARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONSTUDENT LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTSCHOOL ADMINISTRATORSPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLSPRIMARY LEVELSCHOOL EDUCATIONQUALITY TRAININGEXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIESNUMBER OF STUDENTSEDUCATION SPECIALISTSSCHOOL BUILDINGSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPARTNERSHIPS IN EDUCATIONTEACHER TRAINING ACTIVITIESGENDER DISTRIBUTIONAVAILABILITY OF SCHOOLSCLASSROOMCLASSROOMSSCHOOLEDUCATION DATASECONDARY EDUCATIONSCHOOL ENVIRONMENTATTENDANCE RATEADULT LITERACYTEACHER DEVELOPMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGTRAINING ACTIVITIESOPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERSSCHOOL AGECase StudyWorld Bank10.1596/24414
