Annual Results Reports

annual reports
ECW produces an Annual Results Report for all its donors, partners and the general public.
As ECW’s flagship publication, the Report is both a transparency and accountability tool. It presents a comprehensive overview of the Fund’s progress and results towards the education outcomes of children and adolescents, as well as the strategic objectives of the organisation, as set-out in its Strategic Plan. 
 
Each report includes a ‘way forward’ chapter, as well as individual country profiles that report on progress made in each partner country. The Report is produced by the ECW Secretariat, under the guidance of the Monitoring and Evaluation team.
