Pipeline ID: INDIGO-PL-0085
Expected length of project (years): 4
The direct participants of this programme are children in the 3-5 years levels, with an additional focus on children with developmental delays, who attend informal community-based ECD centers in rural areas, where access to existing pre-primary classrooms is most challenging.
The programme aims to improve the quality of existing community-based ECDs in rural areas, serving as a crucial stopgap to bridge the gap in ECE provision for underserved and poorer communitie while new pre-primary schools are being constructed. Being mindful of limited budgets, the programme adopts a cost effective approach that can be later scaled to other settings and adopted by the government, ensuring a far-reaching impact. Additionally, using existing community structures allows for early learning opportunities for those not easily served by pre-primary classrooms attached to a primary school.
The OBF mechanism will ensure that government and donor money is spent on what works and will encourage results-driven innovation. By focusing on outcomes, OBF programmes are a value-for-money option that ensures every dollar spent to improve children's holistic skills is maximised.

INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices. Please also give input via the INDIGO Data Definitions Improvement Tool and INDIGO Feedback Questionnaire.
