Equitable access to quality education for all is a key link in fighting global poverty.
Parallel to economic growth and employment, education is central to development with its potential to empower both men and women of all ages. Despite its significant importance, a large segment of Afghan population is uneducated, and lack access to basic and quality education. This large segment of the population is based in rural areas, many of them young girls.
RSI understands the need for comprehensive, and integrated approaches to quality education. We support education sector organizations, programs, policies and services that work to provide quality education for all, including girls and women in under-served areas.
Range of Services
- Strategic Planning and Program Design-participatory and results-based planning expertise to enhance performance of education projects, programs and policies
- Performance Monitoring and Evaluation-design and implementation monitoring and evaluation system to enhance performance in education projects, programs, and policies.
