    Early Grade Literacy in Latin America and the Caribbean: Jamaica Stakeholder Mapping and Analysis
    (USAID/LAC Reads Capacity Program, 2019-02) USAID/LAC Reads Capacity Program
    The LAC Reads Capacity Program (LRCP) aims to increase the impact, scale, and sustainability of early grade literacy (EGL) activities in priority countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, and several countries in the Eastern Caribbean). To achieve this goal, the LRCP uses evidence from international research, but also works to identify evidence of what has worked specifically in Latin America and the Caribbean, with emphasis on the priority countries. The Program seeks to produce four results: a) The collection, consolidation, and use of evidence from literacy research in the early grades and resources produced in the region for research as a whole (Outcome 1: Evidence). b) The dissemination of the relevant evidence and the resources among the various audiences and key EGL stakeholders in the region (Outcome 2: Dissemination). c) Capacity development among key EGL stakeholders in the region so they can implement evidence-based approaches and processes to improve EGL and create new contextually relevant, local evidence (Outcome 3: Capacity). d) The development of spaces and platforms that ensure the sustainability of initiatives and interventions that strengthen EGL in the region (Outcome 4: Sustainability).
