Government of Mali - Ministry of the Economy and Finances

Published purpose

This project, which covers all of Mali, helps the Ministry of Education, Literacy and National Languages implementing its national education program (known by the French acronym PISE). PISE places special emphasis on the education of girls, initial and ongoing teacher training, early childhood development, and informal education. As with all budget support initiatives, Canada is working in close cooperation with other donors and the Government of Mali to focus on effective, transparent, and accountable country systems; increase donor coordination and harmonization; and strengthen mutual accountability. Budget support also fosters greater policy dialogue among donors, government, and partners, thus helping to strengthen efforts for effective, focussed aid, as well as long-term development results. This initiative is continuously monitored and evaluated in coordination with other donors.
