?? Myths like “donated blood isn’t safe” or “blood is sold for profit” discourage many in Zambia from donating blood. [?? ??] ??Over the past decade, Zambia has struggled to meet blood collection targets, resulting in persistent shortages that impact individuals who rely on transfusions. ?? In response, IDinsight, in partnership with the Zambia National Blood Transfusion Service (ZNBTS), conducted a study using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys of both donors and non-donors. ?? This study provides data-driven insights to address the blood shortage, shape ZNBTS’s decision-making, inform communication strategies, and strengthen blood donor recruitment and retention. ??

?? New Report Alert! We’re thrilled to share findings from our one-year follow-up?of our?#RCT of the Luminos Fund’s Accelerated Learning Program for out-of-school children in Liberia!??? The Luminos program equips children who have missed years of schooling with foundational literacy and numeracy skills, empowering them to confidently? enroll in mainstream schools. Previously we found that, by the end of program, children could read 4.5x as many words per minute and complete 2x as many addition and subtraction problems as the control group. https://lnkd.in/gqu2fMr6 Here’s what our?new follow-up?study found: ?? Enrollment Boost:?One year after graduating from the Luminos program, 75% of?out-of-school children are enrolled in government or private schools—?a?15?percentage points?higher?rate?than the control group. ???Sustained Learning Gains: One year later, the positive difference in literacy and numeracy scores between Luminos graduates and the control group is similar to the gains seen at the first endline, showing lasting impact. ??Inclusive Impact:?The sustained learning gains are similar across age and enrollment history. Across gender, children perform similarly on most literacy and numeracy skills. This suggests that the Luminos program generally empowers children of all backgrounds equally. ? ??
