This diagnostic toolkit offers countries a systematic way to be more strategic in their approaches to ECE data. It can help country teams build upon their existing data to maximize its value, leverage data to take advantage of policy or change windows, and enhance planned projects by linking data needs and users rather than collecting data for a single purpose alone.
Please note that USAID’s Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) has concluded. The RTAC website will be decommissioned at the end of 2025. Some materials will be transferred to the NORC website and the USAID Learning Lab website in the coming months. However, we recommend downloading any materials you would like to preserve at this time.
