Project Background

The Government of Malawi through the Ministry of Education (MOE) is implementing a project called Improving Secondary Education in Malawi II (ISEM II) project with support from the European Union.
The primary goal of this initiative is to provide young people with more equitable opportunities for completing good quality secondary education and development skills. The ISEM II FA initiative encompasses three specific objectives (SOs):

1. Specific Objective 1 (SO1): Facilitate the equitable enrolment of students in secondary education.
2. Specific Objective 2 (SO2): Enhance the quality of secondary education.
3. Specific Objective 3 (SO3): Strengthen the governance and management of secondary education institutions at both central and decentralized levels.

To realize these objectives, the ISEM II FA initiative will use two government-implemented grants: i) A 4.3 million EUR grant dedicated to the soft component focused on quality and governance objectives. ii) A 40.5 million EUR grant allocated for hard component, including infrastructure and equipment.

Implementation of these grants has just started with a duration of 36 months.
