High-frequency granular data can enable senior government officials to hold poorly performing members of the service delivery chain to account; however, centralised management must translate large volumes of data into appropriate management actions to be effective. 

This report synthesises the findings of a multi-country, multi-team research project into the effectiveness of delivery approaches at improving education service delivery. The main countries studied were Ghana, Jordan, and Pakistan, with smaller studies in Sierra Leone and a soon-to-be-completed study in Tanzania.
