For the past year, Maryland has been working through the development of an updated vision, mission, and 5-year strategic plan to guide our early care and education (ECE) system development to support young children and their families as they grow and develop from the prenatal period through age 8. Future drafts of the strategic plan will include measurable actions, as well as indicators of progress and success.
System Development: A Strategic Framework
Programmes adopting market systems approaches need a clear strategic framework that links the goal of large-scale poverty reduction with a focus on systemic change. The strategic framework is a logical model that shows the flow of cause and effect and how a programme will achieve its objectives.
A good strategic framework provides a clear direction for interventions and establishes the basis for monitoring and evaluating their effects. It also provides funders with the basis to oversee a market systems programme. The diagram below shows a strategic framework that sets out indicators and targets for poverty reduction.
The strategic framework isn't rigid nor is it an exercise to fill in boxes. Instead, the strategic framework is about thinking through the rationale and direction of a programme. It provides a programme with a coherent strategy and the discipline to assess the consistency of actions with the objectives.
In 2015-16, University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen led an initiative to develop a system-wide strategic framework to chart the institution's path to the future and build on the U of I's richlegacy of service to students and to the public good.

This paper offers a framework for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and its partners to support the expansion and improvement of basic education in Africa based on recent experience and lessons learned. This paper describes USAID's strategic framework and provides guidelines for designing, implementing, and evaluating basic education programs in Africa over the next decade. This framework is not a blueprint for specific interventions, nor does it provide detailed guidance on substantive elements of a basic education program such as information systems development, textbook procurement and distribution, or the assessment of classroom learning. Rather, it presents a strategic approach for supporting education reform, calling for creative interpretation by USAID Missions in partnership with country governments, stakeholders, and other donors, and articulates the precepts that should inform USAID's investment in education in Africa. It defines parameters and key issues to facilitate analysis and planning. It is a tool for designing, managing, and evaluating specific programs of USAID support.
