Key Information

The development of Burkina Faso's education system has long been the subject of long-term planning. The support programme is articulated around two components: 1) This component aims to support the implementation of the action plans of the Ministry of Education and Literacy based on the policies and guidelines and, according to the disbursement modalities defined in the Joint Financing Memorandum signed between the Government of Burkina Faso and CAST's technical and financial partners. CAST as a modality for funding education is a concrete response to the Paris Declaration commitments on aid alignment and effectiveness. It is integrated in the budget law in the form of a budget in revenue and expenditure isolated from the general budget. Beyond the terms of allocation of financial resources, the operation of CAST also promotes the sector approach to the MENA and donors promoting political and technical dialogue on key sectoral and thematic monitoring sector performance. 2) Support for capacity building: this is support to the management of the education and training sector through information and communication technologies. It aims to improve the management of human resources and will also contribute to improving the monitoring of the evolution of the school curriculum of each student in all cycles through a unique identifier, as well as improving the quality of school statistics. Ultimately, the goal is to have an integrated platform to monitor student curricula, staff management and school statistics to improve the quality of information processing processes while avoiding human errors and to gain in terms of time and financial resources.
