Providing an Education of Quality in Haiti (PEQH)

The development objectives of the Providing an Education of Quality in Haiti Project for Haiti are to: (i) strengthen public management of the education sector; (ii) improve learning conditions in selected public and non-public primary schools; and (iii) support enrollment of students in selected public and non-public primary schools. The project comprises of four components. The first component, improving institutional capacity and governance will strengthen the technical capacity of relevant units within Ministry of National Education and Professional Training (MENFP), including the directorates of primary education, education and partnership, professional training, and planning and external cooperation, to improve service delivery, and overall educational governance. The second component, supporting access to quality, public primary education in poor communities will provide access to quality primary education in poor communities in selected departments set forth in the project operations manual (POM). This component will also finance provision of compensation, including cash compensation and other assistance paid for involuntary resettlement related to the implementation of the relevant resettlement action plan under the resettlement policy framework (RPF). It consists of two sub-components: (i) support to the cohorts of the community education grant program under the education for all (EFA) II Project; and (ii) public school improvement model. The third component, supporting access to quality, non-public primary education in poor communities will support access of poor children to non-public schools while increasing the quality of education of those non-public schools. It consists of two sub-components: (i) support to the final tuition waiver program cohort under the EFA II Project; and (ii) support to the development and implementation of a replicable model for results-based financing of non-public schools. The fourth component will provide support to MENFP for project implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
