Looking Forward n Scale up should not done by EWB – role of government
system to sustain change
n Want districts to have capability to develop own data systems for evidence-based decision making, and hire consultants if demanded
n EWB will be the go-to organization for advising programs and policies around evidence-based decision making systems at districts
