| Summary: | This case study seeks to understand
how the Lagos Eko Secondary Education Project (Eko Project)
tailored international best practices to leverage impact
through education sector reforms in Lagos State’s public
secondary school system. 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. |
