What is Building Evidence in Education (BE2)?
Building Evidence in Education (BE2) is a donor working group, launched in 2012, with the aim to engage bilateral and multilateral organizations and foundations. The objectives of BE2 are to:
- Strengthen donor research collaboration and coordination,
- Encourage higher standards of commissioned research, and
- Promote the availability and access to rigorous evidence.
Why a donor working group?
We recognize that donors have a unique opportunity and responsibility to advance the quality and use of evidence in the education sector through setting higher standards for the research we commission, coordinating our respective research agendas and engaging with policy makers to increase uptake of evidence for decision making.
