Education Sector Investment Project operates in Eritrea.
The Eritrean Education Sector Investment Project restructuring consists of the following project modifications: (1) modify the outcome indicators and adjust the outcome targets; (2) revise and expand the project scope; (3) reallocate credit between eligible categories; (4) decentralize implementation arrangements; and (5) extend project closing date. These changes are within the context of the 2005 "Education Sector Development Program (ESDP)" by the State of Eritrea, and are envisaged to improve the effectiveness of project implementation, meet the sector development financing needs, and strengthen the overall education sector performance in Eritrea. The restructuring is expected to improve the effectiveness of project implementation and to enhance sector outcomes. This will be achieved through strengthening community participation in school construction, giving priority to disadvantaged areas and demographic groups, balancing expanding supply with stimulating demand, and sharpening the strategic focus in improving education quality and learning outcome by filling key investment gaps. Furthermore, the proposed restructuring intends to improve the monitoring and evaluation of the project's performance.
