Government of Mozambique - Ministry of Education and Culture

Published purpose

This project aims to reduce the absolute poverty of Mozambican women, men, girls and boys by improving access to quality education. The project represents Canada's contribution to Mozambique’s Education Sector Support Fund, a pooled fund involving collaboration between ten bilateral and multilateral partners and the Government of Mozambique’s Ministry of Education. The pooled fund focuses on a number of issues identified in the Government of Mozambique's Strategic Plan for Education including: access to and quality of education, and improving the institutional capacity of Mozambique's education sector at the central, provincial, district, and school levels. The Strategic Plan for Education involves eight distinct sub-sectors: (i) primary education; (ii) secondary education; (iii) technical and vocational education; (iv) higher education (post-secondary); (v) literacy and adult education; (vi) administrative and institutional development; (vii) school construction; and (viii) cross-cutting themes, such as gender equality, school health and HIV/AIDS, school production and feeding, and school sports.
