KiuFunza III (2019 – 2022)

The evidence on KiuFunza III has not been published yet, but a descriptive brief can be found in the KF III RISE insight note:

“We describe results of KiuFunza 3, a teacher performance pay programme that offers individual cash rewards for core foundational skills to teachers in lower primary. The programme 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.”
