Endline Evaluation of Rwandan Children’s Book Initiative (RCBI)

Through the support of the Innovation for Education fund, a partnership between the Governments of Rwanda and the UK, Save the Children in Rwanda began implementation activities for the Rwandan’s Children Book Initiative (RCBI) in May of 2013 to support publishers to produce high quality, age appropriate, Kinyarwanda children’s books and to distribute these books to schools, at the same time as improving teachers’ skills, knowledge and confidence to use books in support of literacy acquisition and learning outcomes. As observed in most developing countries, a serious “children’s book gap” was noticed in Rwanda.

RCBI was designed to pilot techniques within Rwanda to address these “children’s book gap” challenges. Read this endline evaluation to learn more about the project.
