3.5 Overall Programme Coordination

The implementation of EBEP-I involved three directorates and 15 departments/offices within the central Ministry. The EBEP-II will be continue to work with and support these directorates and departments at national level. At the provincial level, partnerships with the six Provincial Offices of Education through the Provincial Working Groups (PWG) will continue to be supported and strengthened. Existing coordination mechanisms under the Directorates of General Education and Directorate of Administration and Finance will be further linked to an overarching EBEP-II Coordinating Committee (EBEP-CC) to be headed by the Secretary of State. The EBEP-CC will provide a much broader overall coordination mechanism within the MoEYS to ensure that implementation of activities under each of the three EBEP-II projects are well coordinated and that information exchange is facilitated to achieve programme synergy. The EFA Secretariat will also provide secretariat support to the EBEP-CC.
