2. **Strengthening Early Grade Reading for Malawi Children Program**: This initiative aims to improve literacy skills among Malawian students through enhanced teaching materials, increased local capacity, better-trained teachers, and improved educational data. The objectives include improving learning outcomes, building local organizational capacity for literacy promotion, and supporting innovative cost-effective approaches to enhance early grade reading skills.
