Our Research, Monitoring and Evaluation (RM&E) Department conducts Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) visits to verify data captured in school libraries, including library checkout records. Colleagues from our technical teams, such as the Quality Reading Department, also participate in these visits to support RM&E efforts and gather firsthand feedback from schools on the storybooks produced for their libraries.

These visits are one of the ways Room to Read maintains the quality and fidelity of its programmes while ensuring that resources continue to meet the needs of learners and schools.

to a DQM support visit at Manchimudi Primary School, where our team met with the Teacher-Librarian and Library Assistant to learn more about their experiences and the benefits of the school library.

Happy World Book and Copyright Day!

Room to Read places a strong emphasis on children’s books in learners’ mother tongues. Our Quality Reading Materials division works closely with local authors and illustrators to create engaging, culturally relevant, and representative books for children.

Many of these titles are available in libraries across our project schools, as well as on Literacy Cloud (https://literacycloud.org/) and through One Day. One Book. (https://onedayonebook.org/). These books are incredibly popular with young readers.
