The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has formally launched the Ghana Accountability Learning Outcomes Project (GALOP) at the Jubilee House, Accra.
The $218.7m project is jointly funded by the World Bank, Department for International Development (DfID) and Global Partnerships for Education (GPE). It is a 5-year results-based financing project, with disbursement of project funds to the Ministry of Education being contingent on the achievement of pre-determined results.
GALOP’s objective is to ‘improve the quality of education in low performing basic education schools and strengthen education sector equity and accountability in Ghana.’ The project is targeted at the 10,000 least performing Basic Schools (Kindergarten, Primary and Junior High Schools) across the country as well as all special schools with direct interventions.
GALOP aims to support the Ministry of Education’s Education Strategic Plan (ESP 2018-2030), which has quality, access, equity, sustainability and relevance, as its key priority areas in order to provide equitable access to quality basic education to all Ghanaian children.
