Djibouti - Education project, phase 3

The Education project III is a logical follow-up of the second phase of the Education project. It continues efforts deployed for the development of general middle schooling and technical secondary education, by correcting gender and regional disparities and by paying special attention to girls, to the quality of education and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The project contributes to the setting up of the national education policy based on a sectoral approach which mobilised all state authorities and civil society and is also consistent with a ten-year master plan, a fiveyear action plan and a coherent list of projects proposed to partners. The total cost of the project excluding taxes and duties, is evaluated at UA 5.56 millions. The project should be implemented over a period of five years and should centre around the following four components: (i) Increasing access to middle and secondary education; (ii) improving the quality of education; (iii) enhancing the delivery of health services to schools and the fight against HIV/AIDS; and (iv) project management.
