IIEP and Education Sector Planning
IIEP supports ministries of education to plan and prepare their education sector plans through
long-term technical involvement or more focused interventions. Making progress in education
demands that countries have a clear vision of their priorities and how to achieve these. Many
ministries therefore prepare strategic plans, which reflect this vision and help mobilize people and
resources. A wide range of ministries worked in partnership with IIEP to develop their plans. In
some countries, the Institute supports the whole process of formulation, implementation, monitoring
and evaluation of these plans; in others, it offers advice and assistance in specific areas as requested
by the ministry. In all cases, the joint efforts is aimed at strengthening the capacity and autonomy
of ministries and their staff. IIEP gives special attention to working with countries faced with the
challenges of emergencies and reconstruction (sometimes referred to as ‘fragile’ contexts) which are
farthest away from achieving the EFA and the MDG goals.
