Description
In 2014, a teacher training program jointly organized by the China Funds-in-Trust and UNESCO (UNESCO CFIT Project) was launched in the Republic of Congo. 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 Republic of Congo for four years (see Project #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 Project #85129). Phase 2 (Project #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 Project #53170), and the remaining $2 million is to expand the project to include Togo and Zambia.
