CAMEROON Education Reform Support Project

The development objective of the Education Reform Support Project for Cameroon is to improve equitable access to quality basic education, with a focus on selected disadvantaged areas. The project comprises of three components. The first component, improving access, quality, and education system management supports three government priority areas: (a) enhancing equitable access to quality pre-primary and primary education; (b) strengthening education system management; and (c) the recently identified additional priority of supporting the education needs of public schools in host communities with refugees. The second component, improving school effectiveness through performance-based financing (PBF) aim to improve the quality of schooling, student retention, and school governance, with an emphasis on girls’ education. The third component, institutional strengthening and project management aims to strengthen the capacity of education sector line ministries and relevant agencies toward the achievement of education sector strategy (ESS) objectives. It consists of following sub-components: (i) institutional capacity strengthening; and (ii) project management.
