UNICEF Ghana has secured a three-year Systems Capacity Grant (SCG) from the Global Partnership
for Education (GPE) worth USD$2.23 million.
It takes effect from January 2025 and ends in December 2027. The initiative aims to strengthen Ghana’s education sector by enhancing systemic capacity, improving policy planning, and fostering sustainable educational reforms.
As the designated Grant Agent, UNICEF Ghana will oversee the implementation of key initiatives in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
The SCG will support among others-:
-Strengthening gender-responsive education programming at national and decentralized levels.
-Reviewing and updating the Education Sector Medium-Term Development Plan to align with national priorities.
-Enhancing national capacity for crisis-sensitive and resilient education sector planning to address emerging challenges.
-Supporting the development of Education Sector Performance Reports to improve accountability and monitoring.
-Building district-level capacity for data collection and analysis to enhance evidence-based decision-making.
Osama Makkawi, UNICEF Ghana Representative, emphasized the grant's significance.
He said "this GPE grant will be instrumental in strengthening key areas of Ghana's education system, including data utilization, gender-responsive programming, and inter-sectoral coordination. This will enable UNICEF to deliver quality education for every child."
