Closed

The objective of the Education Transformation Capacity Building Project for Jamaica is to build the capacity of the emerging key agencies (National Education Inspectorate (NEI), Jamaica Teaching Council (JTC), Regional Education Authorities (REA), and National Education Trust, or NEC) that are being established to support the national Education System Transformation Program (ESTP). There are three components to the project; the first component is the enhanced performance and accountability. Enhanced performance and accountability will contribute to the implementation of the Government of Jamaica (GoJ) ESTP by making operational the following key agencies to form a coherent system to monitor progress and improve accountability and quality: NEI, JTC, and REA. The second component is the mechanisms to mobilize resources to the NET. The NET will be the vehicle through which the Ministry of Education (MoE) will secure a consistent and reliable source of funds to support capital programs in education with a particular focus on, but not limited to, infrastructure. Mechanisms will be established to attract funding from the Diaspora, the private sector, and other sources. Finally, the third component is the communications, project management, and monitoring and evaluation. This component will support the implementation of a strategic communications strategy; provision of staffing, training, purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and operating costs for the MoE change management unit, responsible for overseeing implementation of the ESTP; and support to carry out evaluations of the ESTP, and annual external audits of project financing.
