Published purpose

The project aims to encourage increased effectiveness and community management of schools. In coordination with other partners and led by the Government of Mali, this project supports the implementation of decentralized management of basic education in the Kayes and North Mali regions (Gao, Timbuktu, and Kidal). The project has three levels of support, designed to reinforce the decentralized management of basic education: (i) for territorial communities, on the front lines in managing basic education; (ii) for the National Education Ministry (MEALN)'s deconcentrated mechanisms, which are responsible for providing technical support needed to build the school management capacities of territorial communities, including capacity building of teaching academies in Kayes, Gao, Timbuktu, and Kidal; (iii) for MEALN's central body, responsible for developing policy aimed at decentralizing education, and giving partners the support they need to implement, monitor and coordinate this policy.
