An education programme that will help Ethiopia protect education gains to date, and to level up regions with poor education outcomes and educational inequity. This will be achieved through a focus on equity, including girls, targeting other marginalised groups, and developing regions; and a focus on improving learning outcomes, particularly foundational learning, and the transition to secondary school. It will boost results under other programmes in Ethiopia, on health, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH), that also focus on gender issues such as maternal health, early pregnancy, and menstrual health management.
