James Kiawoin - Inside Luminos Fund’s Cost-Effective Catch-Up Program Transforming Lives in Liberia

In this episode, we delve into the intersection of behavioural science and FLN. Katherine Flaschen, Principal Behavioral Designer, and Carolina Better, Managing Director of Global Development at ideas42, share insights from their recently launched report aimed at helping foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) implementers apply behavioural science to enhance the effectiveness of their programs. 

Katherine and Carolina provide valuable perspectives on how understanding and addressing behavioural barriers can lead to more successful educational interventions and, ultimately, better learning experiences for children.
