LeadTheShift

LeadTheShift: Knowledge, Movement & Institutional Excellence

The movement for every child's right to education starts here.

Models only matter if they spread. Evidence only matters if it reaches decision-makers. LeadTheShift is IMS’s work to build a high-performing organisation, generate and share knowledge, engage policy, and advance a regional movement for every child’s right to education.

It is also where IMS innovates — where new ideas are tested, documented, and prepared for scale. The Retention Corner sits within LeadTheShift as the physical and intellectual home of IMS’s innovation work.

STRATEGIC GOAL (SFA 04) - IMS is a credible, sustainable, knowledge-generating institution leading Uganda's movement on dropout prevention and recovery.
