| Project Detail |
The development objective of the Basic Education Recovery Project (BERP) for Sudan are to improve the learning environment in targeted areas; to increase the availability of textbooks; and to strengthen education planning and management mechanisms in the Sudan. This Emergency Project Paper (EPP) details a Global Partnership for Education Fund (GPEF) grant in the amount of US$76.5M to support a BERP in Sudan. This operation is expected to be financed through a grant from the GPEF, which will play an important part in complementing other partnership assistance to the Government of Sudan s (GoS s) efforts to build and develop basic education. The project aims to construct 2000 classrooms to alleviate the rising student-to-classroom ratio in the medium and long term, as enrollments continue to rise. The projects also aims to increase access and improve the quality of education through the school grants program in selected areas, which together with the provision of textbooks, will reduce the cost of schooling for households and improve the learning environment. The project will target school construction interventions towards rural communities, targeting states which have a relatively large percentage of its population in rural areas. |
