Who we are
CoLab works at the intersection of research, evidence, design and collaboration to help improve education. Founded in 2019, we support CSOs, NGOs and funders across the Global South — working in education, women's empowerment, livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
What we do
We research real challenges in education, design evidence-informed solutions, and collaborate with educators, institutions and researchers to turn what works into shared, scalable public goods.
Why it matters
Every child deserves equal educational outcomes. Yet evidence is often out of reach, ecosystems are fragmented, and promising work struggles to scale — closing that gap is the work we do.
