CEI and its staff have been a part of the SBM debate and in the middle of many reforms over the last 15 years.
This has included taking part in strategic planning processes in Ministries of Education where educational decentralisation and school leadership have featured prominently.
Staff have assisted governments in designing school grant schemes. CEI has participated in peer reviews and working groups on SBM and head teaching training and accreditation in many parts of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific region.
