Mathematica has a diverse portfolio of work in global education and training.
Our research spans the education continuum, including all levels (from early childhood development and education [ECDE] through tertiary education and workforce development), contexts (stable contexts to crisis and crisis-affected environments), settings (formal and non-formal), and providers (state and non-state).
To catalyze the transformation of education systems in low- and middle-income countries, international donors seek partners who provide a range of MEL offerings to inform decision-making and maximize impact, from the programmatic level to the strategic level. Mathematica offers end-to-end MEL solutions to strengthen program and portfolio design and execution throughout the strategy lifecycle.

MCC’s $27.3 million Guatemala Threshold Program (2016–2021) aimed to spur private investment in infrastructure, including a $1.5 million PPP activity.
