The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) on June 22,
approved a US$16.5 million grant to help advance education reform in Haiti through the Promoting an Efficient Education System in Haiti Project. This effort aims to improve Haiti’s Ministry of Education’s planning and regulatory functions and the learning assessment system. To implement this project, the Government of Haiti is supported by the World Bank, acting as grant agent.
“GPE’s support to strengthen education in Haiti is more critical than ever, as the impacts of the pandemic increase the risk of school dropouts,” said Alice Albright, GPE Chief Executive Officer. “GPE will continue to help make Haiti’s education system more resilient and effective so that the most vulnerable girls and boys can go to school and learn.”
