Sahel Portfolio Review: Supporting Civil Society in Education 2017-2021

Education Development Center presents findings and conclusions of review of Norad's support civil society in education in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali.

In 2017, Norad launched a call for proposals to support civil society in education in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali. The main priority of the call was on equity and quality of education for children and youth from early childhood care and education to secondary education, including technical and vocational education and training.

Initiatives were expected to show how the concerns of girls as well as marginalized and excluded groups were incorporated, and to strengthen the dialogue between civil society and government regarding the field of education. Eight organisations were awarded funding of NOK 390 million in total over the contract period.

Norad invites you to a presentation of the portfolio review of this funding, together with Education Development Center who conducted the review. The aim of the meeting is to present the findings and conclusions from the review. Please share this invitation with other relevant colleagues as well.
