2009 GMR
The EPDC and the Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EFA/GMR) team worked together to make projections relating to the EFA goals #1 (early childhood care), #2 (universal basic education) and #4(halve illiteracy). The goal of the project is to provide estimates of the costs and finance gaps to achieving targets relating to these EFA goals, by country, and for low income countries as a whole. The EPDC and the GMR team developed a costing projection model that will be available on the website, along with a background paper, and the projection results, in late 2009 when the GMR report 2010 is published.
2009 IHSN
The International Household Survey Network (IHSN) is engaged on the development of a Question Bank for household surveys as a means to promote common and harmonized approaches to the measurement of individual topics in developing countries. The IHSN contracted the EPDC to produce a report with a set of education-related indicators and the survey questions that embody good practice in this area. The project builds on an earlier study by the EPDC to review how education-related topics are covered in household surveys in developing countries.
2008 GMR
In 2008 the Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EFA/GMR) team commissioned four studies from the EPDC as background papers to its GMR report 2009. The studies analyze: changes in inequalities in enrolment by wealth of pupils; the effects of underage and overage pupils on school efficiency as measured by promotion, repetition and dropout; sub-national differentials of learning and the correlations with other measures of school quality and quantity; projections of primary TNER, secondary NER, and gender parity; and updated global enrolment trend projections.

Background report is available on the GMR website.

2007 AED and Conference Board
The EPDC prepared a report,
The Untapped Opportunity: How Public-Private Partnerships Can Advance Education for All, to help focus and inform the discussion of the September 2006 Conference on Business and Education, co-sponsored by the Academy for Educational Development (AED) and the Conference Board.
2007 GMR
In 2007 the Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EFA/GMR) team commissioned five studies from the EPDC as background papers to its GMR report 2008. The studies analyze: urban-rural school attendance differences; differentials in enrolment/attendance measurements from administrative systems and household surveys; age-patterns of out-of-school children; exploration on how to make an index for early childhood care; global enrolment projections to 2025.

Background Report is available on the GMR website.

Working Paper on the index for early childhood is available on the EPDC site.
2006 GMR
In 2006, the Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EFA/GMR) team commissioned the EPDC to develop profiles for Early Childood Care and Education (ECCE). The ECCE profiles are available on the Search Profiles page or via the box below.
2006 IHSN
In 2006, the International Household Survey Network (IHSN) commissioned the EPDC to conduct an analysis of how education-related topics are measured in household surveys in developing countries. The included 30 different household surveys with a wide range of education modules.
