Impact and insights
We share the outcomes and practices learnt by the BHP Foundation and partner organizations to strengthen the sector and create impact that endures.
Sharing what we are learning
We encourage measurement, learning and evaluation in partnerships to ensure investments fulfil their intent; succesful outcomes are amplified, scaled and sustained beyond their immediate reach; and gained knowledge is leveraged to strengthen the sector towards greater progress. This approach seeks to:
- Influence action for people and planet.
- Share evidence to strategically generate attention, advance thinking, influence public policy and compel others to action around priority areas.
- Adaptively manage and course correct to maximize impact, influence, and scale of work in service to an equitable and sustainable future.
- Hold each other accountable to stakeholders and commitments so that we enable effective decision-making, transparency, and responsibility, including around unintended consequences.
- Contribute to the evidence base to substantiate the value proposition of the work, sharing learning of what is and is not working.

Although the global learning crisis was widely recognized, with hundreds of millions of children lacking basic literacy and numeracy — experts pointed to a deeper, structural issue: the education sector lacked strong, usable, and locally relevant evidence to guide highly complex decisions and reform efforts.
