EDUCATION REHABILITATION PROJECT

closed

The Education Rehabilitation Project is designed to reverse the rapid deterioration in the education sector in Togo following several years of social and political unrest and a decade of declining enrollment and quality. The project has two objectives: to improve the quality of schools and to develop better education system management. The project comprises two components: 1) the development of better schools through school construction and rehabilitation, provision of textbooks, and the Quality of Schools Initiative; and 2) development of better education system management through decentralized recruitment and financing of teachers, development of system managment tools including information and communication systems, budgetary programming and monitoring, consolidation of the minsterial restructuring by strengthening decision-making process and further decentralizing the responsibility for instructional as well as financial management.
