Lessons from the 6th Knowledge Session – Frontline realities, local agency, and the role of OBF

December 2025

The 6th and final Knowledge Exchange Session, held on December 3, 2025, marked an important milestone for the CLI on outcomes-based financing in early childhood care and education (OBF4ECCE). After nearly two years of shared learning, the community shifted its focus from experimentation to institutionalisation, by closely examining what it takes to move from pilots to sustainable practices embedded in education systems. This document synthesises the key insights that emerged during the session.
