Papua New Guinea Partnership Fund Education Grants Mid-Term Review and Management Response

Summary of publication

This report details the findings from an independent mid-term review of the Papua New Guinea Partnership Fund (PPF) Education Grants undertaken in November 2019. The review confirmed that the grants made gains in improving literacy and numeracy in control schools; and identified which of the interventions have greatest opportunity for sustainability. The review also made recommendations to strengthen the effectiveness of the grants in influencing policy.

DFAT found the review to be useful in informing decisions on future phases of support to education in PNG. DFAT largely accepts the findings and recommendations and thanks the review team and the senior officials of the National Department of Education and Department of National Planning and Monitoring of Papua New Guinea for participating in the review.
