How can we ensure that girls and boys living in conflict-affected regions have equitable access to quality education?
We are delighted to announce that Professors Dana Burde and Cyrus Samii will present findings from New York University's USAID-funded Assessment of Learning Outcomes and Social Effects of Community-Based Education in Afghanistan’s (ALSE).
Researchers will present ALSE's randomized controlled trail study of the effectiveness of various community-based education (CBE) program models on children's attendance, learning, and communities’ trust in government, as well as next steps in the research and the benefits of MoE- and USAID-academic partnerships. Discussants will review these findings, next steps, and partnerships.

The presentations are at times technical, but retain a focus on a mixed audience of researchers and policymakers. There’s more about the series here.
