Key Information

The education sector in Niger has received a lot of support, which mainly resulted in an approved access to schooling. This intervention is aligned with the ongoing decentralisation process in Niger. This decentralisation process has been initiated about ten years ago and is based on a full deconcentration to the municipal level. The new institutional environment offers opportunities for action for regions and municipalities and the ability to promote their educational policy themselves. In fact, mobilising different actors to develop a Regional Sector Plan for Education and Training (RSPET) is essential in order to better reflect both the needs expressed by the regions and the local stakeholders of the decentralisation and the Sectoral Programme for Education and Training objectives, including those related to the quality and governance of the education system. Through access to quality education, economically and socially marginalized adults and children can escape poverty and become participants in democratic processes, the fight against discrimination and enhanced growth.
