| Objective |
The Djibouti education program will contribute significantly to meeting the growing demand for quantity and quality of basic education in grades 1 through 12. A three-year program is being designed based on three Intermediate Results: Increased Access to Basic Education, Improved Quality of Teaching and Learning, and Increased Opportunities for Girls’ Education.
The program will be designed and implemented in a highly collaborative manner with the Government of Djibouti, the Ministry of Education, and USAID to ensure that it supports the priority objectives of all three. This will be the first USAID program in Djibouti. This project is part of EQUIP 1.
