Grant Description
In 2017, a teacher training program jointly organized by the China Funds-in-Trust and UNESCO (UNESCO CFIT Project) was launched in Zambia.
The project is UNESCO’s flagship initiative to accelerate progress towards the Education for All and education-related Millennium Development Goals. In 2016, Zambia was selected to participate in Phase 2 (see Record ID#85129) of this initiative.
Phase 1 supported eight countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Namibia, Congo, DR Congo, Liberia, Tanzania, and Uganda) between 2013 and 2016 (see Record ID#53170).
CFIT continued to support these countries between 2017 and 2018 with the implementation of Phase 2 (see Record ID#85129).
Phase 2 was funded by $4 million from the Chinese Government in which $2 million was allocated for supporting the eight Phase 1 countries, and the remaining $2 million expanded the project participants to include Togo and Zambia.
This latest phase specifically aims to "enhance the capacity of the target teacher training institutions in selected African countries to provide quality teacher education and training."
