Uwezo is a large-scale information-based intervention which seeks to improve educational outcomes among children in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania in three linked steps: first, by providing parents with good quality information about how much their children are (or are not) learning in schools; second, by providing concrete suggestions about steps that parents might take to improve education outcomes for their children; and finally, by facilitating a broad public discussion of the state of education in the country. This study focused on how citizens might respond to exposure to the types of information they were presumed to lack.
