Overview
Mission
The rise institute was founded in november 2001 to support countries, global agencies, and organizations in improving the development of infants and young children through early childhood development, early childhood intervention, and inclusive education services. Rise assists them in developing policies, strategic plans, and laws for early childhood development, early childhood intervention, and inclusive education. Rise also helps design early childhood development and education programs that can be expanded to achieve nationwide coverage. In addition, rise provides pre- and in-service training and helps set up national and program monitoring and evaluation systems.

Under additional contracts, rise worked with national research teams to field test the draft guide in three countries: kosovo, and tajikistan. Those book-length national situation analyses and field testing were conducted in 2022-2023 (kosovo), 2024 and 2025 (tajikistan). These detailed and useful eci situation analyses were published in those countries in 2023 and 2025.
Operating model

- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
