In partnership with the South African Department of Basic Education (DBE), The Education Outcomes Fund (EOF) launched the South Africa ECCE Outcomes Fund (“Fund 1.0”) in December 2025. Over three years, five implementing partners (IPs) will open around 1.4k new Early learning programmes (ELPs) and support around 600 existing ones throughout the country. The Outcomes fund is a form of outcomes-based financing, wherein payment to IPs is dependent on their progress towards pre-specified target outcomes. Under this model, EOF, IPs, and pre-financers providing working capital and performance management to the IPs, will frequently collect monitoring and evaluation data related to the interventions.
Fund 1.0 was developed as a way to learn about how to improve ECCE quality, to provide space for innovation, and as an opportunity for the DBE to broaden partnerships with non-state ECCE providers. Towards the scaling objectives of the 2030 ECD strategy and as outlined in the Bana Pele Blueprint, the DBE and EOF are interested in surfacing learnings from Fund 1.0 to inform the design of a future outcomes fund (“ELP Fund 2.0”). To support that effort, EOF is looking to collaborate with a consultant who will serve as a full-time member of the South Africa country team, to lead the learning, scaling, and evidence synthesis agenda for Fund 1.0.

In BiH, preschool enrolment criteria are regulated through a combination of entity, cantonal, district, and local-level legislation and by-laws, while operational enrolment practices are defined at either through digitized systems or at the level of preschool institutions. This governance arrangement has resulted in fragmented approaches, varying levels of transparency, and uneven alignment with labour market realities and the needs of working parents.
This assessment is planned as part of the Joint United Nations Programme – Gender Accelerator Framework (Pillar 2- Women Economic Empowerment), which aims to accelerate women’s economic empowerment through integrated, cross-sectoral policy reforms. Within this framework, improving access to quality ECEC services is recognised as a key enabler of women’s participation in the labour market.
