Education

Recognizing that education is a lynchpin of development - and the focus of much development assistance - the Center for Global Development investigates promising new approaches for rich countries to help improve education outcomes in developing countries. A focus of research by Senior Fellow Maureen Lewis, Nancy Birdsall, and others is the beneficial effects that educating girls can have on health and social development, as well as economic growth.

Nancy Birdsall and Ruth Levine's research on education as part of the Millennium Development Task Force is currently featured on the ID21 site.
