closed

The Technical Assistance Loan to support the Second Programmatic Labor Reform and Social Structural Adjustment Loan Project seeks to assist the Department of National Planning (DNP), and the Ministries of Social Protection (MSP) and Education (MEN) improve their knowledge, develop effective instruments, and strengthen their ability to carry out the reforms supported by the Programmatic Labor and Social Structural Adjustment Loan. Specifically, the project's main development objectives include the promotion of results-based management of reforms, and strengthening of: a) MSP's capacity to implement a coherent social protection reform, that encompasses employment, training, health and social assistance for the poor and vulnerable; b) MEN'S ability to implement education decentralization reforms, mandated by Law 715 more effectively, analyze primary and secondary school integration, and evaluate the school readiness of 5-year old children; and, c) DNP's capacity for institutionalizing periodic evaluation and monitoring of national social programs for citizens' oversight and feedback.
