Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

Uganda’s teaching training program was first launched on November 22 2012 at the close of the 2012 Global EFA Meeting. This program allocated $76,300 in grant funding to three schools in Uganda. The project is UNESCO’s flagship initiative to accelerate progress towards the Education for All and education-related Millennium Development Goals. Phase 1 supported eight countries including Uganda for four years (see Record ID#53170). Phase 1 began in around June 2013 and concluded in 2016. However, CFIT continued to support these countries between 2017 and 2018 with the implementation of Phase 2 (see Record ID#85129). Phase 2 (see Record ID#85129) was funded by $4 million from the Chinese Government in which $2 million was allocated for supporting the eight countries who participated in Phase 1 of the project (see Record ID#53170), and the remaining $2 million is to expand the project to include Togo and Zambia. Phase 2 came to an end in December 2018.
