3. Issues/Recommendations… (RENCP)
Communication and sharing across working groups whose issues overlap.
Sharing training materials/resources. CIWG are developing a Working Agreement (paragraph) concerning the sharing & use of partners’ resources. What have other groups done?

4. Issues… (sector) Adult Literacy policy still not validated.
New law and changes relating to the JAF have significant implications for partners; especially working in multiple Districts. These changes are very demanding.
The challenges with DDPs and Imihigos reflecting physical targets and not capacity building or other initiatives. This puts pressure on partners ‘to build classrooms’.
Ease of access to and accuracy of national education data for reporting and M&E.
