Implementation Status and Key Decisions Overall implementation progress towards the achievement of project development objectives has been substantial. Since the last implementation support mission the project has made progress on all components with a solid, accelerated work plan set for 2015. Many activities related to earlychildhood development, primary/secondary scholarships, school health, national assessments, EGRA, and results based M&E, have made good progress. The project continues to show strong collaboration between the MoEYS, development partners, and the Bank as the supervising entity for the project.

Organizationally, relevant departments in the MoEYS have created strong and well-functioning component technical teams to lead the project implementation. 5/30/2015 Page 2 of 10
