Measurement is a cornerstone of successful outcomes-based financing (OBF) programmes for early childhood care and education (ECCE). Reliable, culturally appropriate tools ensure that outcomes are accurately tracked, creating the foundation for fair payments, improved programme design, and scalable impact. That’s why we are pleased to share this set of resources, which draw on the Education Outcomes Fund's experience and provide a practical guide to measurement tool selection.
