Proposed model of PPP under the IDB-Project
Selection of NGO partners:
Through a short list of National NGOs operating schools in AJK
The selected NGOs will sign a Framework Agreement (FA) with the Executing Agency for the operation of a specified number of schools for each NGO.
Under the FA, an annual subsidy per child will be provided by the project to the NGO to cover;
The recruitment of teachers, cost of teaching and learning materials including textbooks, operation and maintenance expenses, and overhead costs in the form of a management fee not exceeding 7% of total subsidy per school
The FA shall specify among other things the detail inputs to be provided by the NGO in terms of number and qualification of teachers, learning inputs and professional development for teachers

Performance Assessment:
An independent body, the Kashmir Education Assessment Center (KEACE) will undertake standardized assessment tests for students by grade and in the two core subjects (English, Mathematics).
The first baseline assessment would be conducted in the second year of project implementation, which will cover all grades and students in the 60 schools while subsequent annual assessment in the third, fourth and fifth year will cover only Grades 2 and 4 students.
The assessment results would be a key indicator in assessing the performance of the respective Partner NGOs as well as the performance of the students by school, subject, grade and gender
The assessment tests would be competency based and benchmarked against the national curriculum.

Project Sustainability
Sustainability of the project has been taken into account
The subsidy to the Partner NGOs for O&M of the schools is to be gradually transferred to the recurring budget of the GoAJK
After the 1st year of FA, E&SE Department has to ensure that 50% of the recurrent cost is already provided for in the budget. This cost is to be raised to 100% towards the end of the project
The overall subsidy level is lower than current government per student expenditure at the primary level
