LAMA was commissioned by the social enterprise Con i Bambini to carry out a meta-analysis of programmes aimed at tackling educational poverty in Italy (2016–2018).
The analysis focused on approximately 214 million euros in grants awarded through three national calls. LAMA examined the related Theory of Change and mapped the funded projects, analysing their partnerships, objectives, and the innovative practices implemented.
LAMA also conducted a participatory evaluation of the results achieved by the projects, using questionnaires addressed to lead organisations, partner schools, and internal evaluators. The final outcome of the meta-analysis consists of a set of policy recommendations addressed to policymakers and stakeholders working on child educational poverty in Italy, who were also involved throughout the process through dedicated interviews and workshops.
