The LAYS analysis has been used as a critical input into a recent review by the Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP), a new body of global experts co-convened by the World Bank, FCDO, UNICEF, USAID, and BE2, which continually reviews evidence on cost-effective policies and programs. The GEEAP released its first report titled "Cost-Effective Approaches to Improve Learning: what does the evidence tell us are 'Smart Buys' for improving learning in low- and middle-income countries?" and has since released multiple rounds of updated reports.
