  1. Ministry of Education Initiative forDeveloping Effective Program Management and Administration Capacity at theNational and Sub-national Levels

  2. Objective Develop effective program management and administration capacity at national and sub-national level in order to enable the ministry to successfully implement and achieve the targets set in NESP II (2010-2014) This project is designed to address the human resource capacity development needs by bringing in short/medium term technical staff to: • Support policy and program formulation • Train and mentor civil servants • Support implementation of basic services where needed and • Monitor program/project implementation

  3. Project design • Need analysis by each department • Review strategic plan, department ToR, structure, number and qualification of staff • Identification of capacity gap and need for recruitment of TA • Develop ToR, expected outputs and deliverable for TA • Draft proposal • Consultation at Education Management Working Group

  4. Rational • MoE is the largest public sector employer • (67% of the total civil servants) • 7 fold increase in number of students in compare to 2001. • Still many challenges are ahead: • 42% of school age children are out of school • 77% of teachers do not meet minimum qualification, • Management capacity overstretched due to significant rapid increase • etc. • In 2014 around 10 million children will be enrolled in 16,500 school. • Effective program management and administration capacity at national and sub-national level is needed to enable the ministry to successfully implement and achieve the targets set in NESP 2010-2014 • Become eligible to receive new funding for education from FTI and through SWAPs.

  5. Proposed Solutions • Develop policy for recruitment and effective utilization of TAs • Assessment of capacity gape in departments • Identify the type of qualifications to fill the capacity gape • Develop a detailed capacity development plan • Standards for remuneration of TA staff • Recruitment of TA staff

  6. Proposed Solutions • Capacity building of the department and civil servants • TA performance assessment and reporting • Review and evaluation of TA • Incentives for retention of TAs • Transition consideration • Project implementation team

  7. Total TA needed 1,520National Level 540Sub-National Level 980

  8. Criteria for TA

  9. Key policies/strategies • Need-based and merit-based recruitment: Recruit qualified TA when civil servants can not implement the tasks • Move from TA support to “taking-over” by civil servants • Reduce percentage of TA from “down-stream” clerical assistance to “up-stream” for policy/program development and training of civil servants • By December 2010 MoE will reduce by 60% the lower level TA (non BA, administrative, assistances, clerical, data entry, etc.)

  10. Expected outputs/outcomes • 1,520 qualified technical staff recruited and support capacity development in the ministry of education • Training and mentoring of over 4,000 civil servants • Transfer of knowledge and skills over a two-three year period • A cadre of senior and mid-level staff will be trained and develop capacity through ‘learning by doing’ • Policy and program formulation, systems and guidelines development – improved institutional capacity • Improved service delivery and budget execution and attract additional resources • Ministry of Education eligible to benefit from FTI and SWAP and sustain delivery of quality education for all

  11. Sustainability Capacity gap in the government institution - high demand for qualified staff in the growing private sector in Afghanistan • Short/medium term initiatives • Pay and Grade • Super Scale Salary • MCP • On-the-job training of civil servants • Longer-term initiatives • Simplification and automation of work processes in the public institutions • Increasing capacity of human resource development institutions (public and private universities and training programs) • Sending qualified Afghans for scholarships abroad.

  12. Duration and Budget • 24 months • Total cost for two years 53.4 million US$ • Salary + 7% operating costs • Commitment for 1389 16 million US$ • Shortfall (total) 37 million US$ • Shortfall (1389) 10 Million US$ • MoE request the donors to jointly fund the project • Next steps to be defined?
