Evaluating the former ‘Big Results Now’ Delivery Unit

The Elusive Quest to Improve Learning Outcomes in Tanzania via Delivery Units.

The purpose of this research project under Georgetown University is to investigate how the Big Results Now (BRN) delivery unit approach was implemented and its effects. As this project is retrospective in nature, it is not feasible to establish causal links between BRN and its impacts. Rather, the aim of this research is to examine the differences in the implementation of BRN across various learning outcomes. We are conducting semi-structured interviews with public servants in education, water, and health sectors to comprehend how BRN functioned in 21 districts of varying characteristics.
