Support to Education in Mozambique 2020/21-2025/26 (FASE+)

This project provides predictable funding levels over five years to the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) in Mozambique. Canada's funding is channelled to a multi-donor pooled fund which is the primary source of external funding from donors to MINEDH. These funds are used to finance various government-delivered services to achieve objectives in the Ministry’s Education Strategic Plan 2020-29. The plan aims to improve access to quality education services especially those targeting girls young women and children with special needs. The plan explicitly covers six sub-sectors of the education system: pre-primary education primary education secondary education adult education teacher education and training and administrative and institutional development. The majority of activities support primary and secondary education. Project activities include: (1) supporting classroom and latrine construction; (2) procuring educational resources such as books desks and learning materials; (3) building the capacity of teachers and administrators; and (4) providing educational materials and services to support girls and vulnerable children such as children with special needs or displaced children.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved inclusive education for girls and boys to complete primary-level schooling; (2) expanded equal access to quality education for girls and boys to stay in and complete secondary schooling to integrate into the workforce and society; and (3) increased percentage of teachers with comprehensive training to educate in a manner that leads to effective student learning.
