Most citizens report that climate change is a worrying problem that is worsening. 2. 7 out of 10 Ugandans see deforestation as the leading cause of climate change. 3. Citizens’ experience of a changing climate is mixed, though many report that conditions are increasingly difficult. 4. 7 out of 10 citizens report declining agricultural yields. 5. Most citizens report that living has become harder over the past 5-10 years. 6. 8 out of 10 Ugandans report experiencing the effects of climate change at the household and community level. 7. Citizens propose a range of actions to address the climate crisis, with tree planting being the most common. #ClimateActionNow Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/drAy5Jiw

The idea of performance pay is simple. What matters in education is whether children learn. What is the underlying cause of teachers’ lack of motivation, search for outside jobs and nonattendance? Motivation. #KiuFunza takes a very powerful motivator (cash) and links it to learning outcomes. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dS-_JmFY #EducationSystemChange #SkollWF

The evidence on KiuFunza: "#KiuFunza uses a simple incentive design based on results from an earlier study. To make the programme easier to scale, we further simplified implementation and sharply reduced the costs of high-stakes student assessments. Despite the lower cost, we find the incentives cause substantial improvements in foundational reading and numeracy." #EducationSystemChange #SkollWF
