Burundi

The project “Financing of technical assistance supports to the Burundian State” aims at placing at disposal of the administrative structures of the Burundian State, short, medium and long term expertise, in order to reinforce them and to support them in the realization of their mandate.

The Ministry of National Education and Culture of Burundi requires within the framework of this project a technical expertise to support the sector-based planning of National Education.

Vis-à-vis the many challenges which National Education must take up, the development of a relevant and realistic sector-based plan proves to be essential to materialize the strategic orientations and to coordinate the Burundi interventions and the various financial backers who appeared to support the Education sector.

The principal function of the Cecoforma experts is to support the development of the medium-term sector-based Education Plan (2006-2010) and the operational action plans 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. (Budget : 63.000 EUR)
