The General Education Quality Improvement Program for Equity (GEQIP-E, hereinafter the Program) was approved on December 19, 2017. It is financed by a US$300 million International Development Association (IDA) credit and a US$140 million Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF). The Financing Agreement (FA) between the Ministry of Finance and the World Bank was signed on December 21, 2017 and the Program became effective upon signing of the FA. 2. The Program has been restructured four times, as follows: a. April 2020. The first restructuring focused on removing implementation obstacles, as part of which” (i) the disbursement linked indicators (DLIs) were adjusted (became scalable) and verification process was simplified; (ii) key performance indicators (KPI) targets were adjusted; and (iii) the level of responsibility and accountability of Regional Education Bureaus (REBs) was increased by providing financial incentives. b. June 2020. As COVID-19 hit the country, GEQIP-E was restructured for the second time to extend selected DLI timelines to respond to delays caused by the pandemic. c. February 2021. The Program was restructured for the third time to introduce Additional Financing (AF) through the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) grant in the amount of US$122.5 million. The AF (referred to as AF1 henceforth) provides support for: (i) longer-term response to COVID-19; (ii) (re)integration of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups back to school (including girls, children with disabilities and children of internally displaced persons); (iii) supports education technology (EdTech) innovation pilots; (iv) scales up expansion of the quality enhancement and assurance program for early childhood education (ECE); (v) expands full-cycle primary and middle schools through school construction in disadvantaged areas; and, (vi) strengthens the GEQIP-E’s performance through capacity building activities and incentives for fiduciary and safeguards compliance. The restructuring also introduced adjustments of selected disbursement linked results (DLRs) to reflect (a) challenges caused by the recent conflict in Tigray, and (b) time-bound results not achieved due to school closure. The AF1 became effective on April 13, 2021. d. April 2021. A fourth restructuring was concluded to introduce a second AF (referred to as AF2 henceforth) with new results and activities supporting Refugees and Host Communities. It also extended the Program’s closing date by three years, from July 7, 2022 to April 8, 2025. AF2 added US$79.5 million to the Program from the IDA, GPE and Denmark. The AF2 became effective on October 29, 2021. 3. Program Development Objective (PDO) and Implementation Progress (IP). The PDO remains relevant. The Program maintained moderately satisfactory (MS) rating for IP based on the progress with Program Action Plan (PAP) implementation and activities implemented on the school level. The PDO rating is at Moderately Unsatisfactory (MU) due to the negative dynamics of some KPIs due to the COVID-19 school closures, draught, and ongoing conflict. 4. The Program Indicators show mixed progress. Out of the six KPIs, one (KPI 3 on Equity1) has shown a progress by meeting the target while KPI 5 on learning outcomes2 showed deterioration compared to the last update in 1 Improvement in girls-boys’ ratio in Grade 8 in Afar, Ethiopia Somali, and Benishangul-Gumuz. 2 Improvement in Grade 2 learning outcomes in Mother Tongue Reading in Phase I schools (disaggregated by gender). Page 3 of !Syntax Error The World Bank Ethiopia General Education Quality Improvement Program for Equity (P163050) March 2021. Three of the remaining KPIs (KPIs 13 and 24 on Efficiency and KPI 4 on Equity5) showed no changes compared to last update in December 2021 (updated figures will be provided for these KPIs after publishing of the 2021/22 school year statistics report, expected in November 2022). KPI 6 on Quality6 is not due yet (expected in November 2022). 5. The disbursement rate as of July 1, 2022 is at 60 percent. The Table 1 below includes details of disbursement and commitment by source of funding. Table 1. Key Project Data (with AF1 and 2) USD millions, Project Data % Commitment (IDA) 355 Disbursement (IDA) 260 (73%) Commitment (GPE AF1) 122.5 Disbursement (GPE AF1) 2.3 (1.8%) Commitment (GPE AF2) 19.6 Disbursement (GPE AF2) 0 (0%) Commitment (MDTF) 77.5 Disbursement (MDTF) 76 (98%) Total Commitment 574.6 Total Disbursement 340 (59%) Rationale for Restructuring 6. The implementation of the Program activities has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic related school closures. The primary and secondary education schools closed in March 2020 and remained closed for the four last months of the school year, until June 2020. The first three months of the next school year (September to November 2020) were also lost as the schools were still closed. Thus, the system suffered from: (a) two shorter school years; (b) teaching in two to three shifts to comply with COVID-19 safety protocol; (c) reduction in teaching hours by 25-30% (from 25 to 18 hours a week in primary schools) due to double shifts; and (d) reduced learning content. As a result, the system faces the additional challenges of the need to catch up with learning losses due to school closures and ensuring that many students, especially girls, who did not return to school after reopening or returned late in the school are back into the classroom. The situation got even worse because of the scaled up conflicts and recent drastic draughts. 7. Most of the Program activities were put on hold and delayed because of the school closure. Especially school level activities were affected, including teacher training and support, quality enhancement measures at pre-primary level (O-class), operation of Inclusive Education Resource Centers (IERC), community engagement, efforts to support students’ retention and progression through the primary education, etc. National level activities were also postponed, for instance the national assessment and Early Grades Reading 3 Improvement in Grade 2 to Grade 1 enrolment ratio (disaggregated by gender). 4 Improvement in Grade 5 survival rate (disaggregated by gender). 5 Improvement in Gross Enrollment Ratio of Grades 1-8 in Afar, Ethiopia Somali, and Benishangul-Gumuz (disaggregated by gender). 6 Improvement in Grade 8 learning outcomes in English and Mathematics in Phase I schools (disaggregated by gender). Page 4 of !Syntax Error The World Bank Ethiopia General Education Quality Improvement Program for Equity (P163050) Assessment (EGRA), digital education support initiatives, pre-primary education policy development, etc. The extension will allow to deliver these activities in a full scale as it was initially planned. For instance, teacher training rounds cancelled / not delivered because of the school closure will be implemented in the next school year. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 8. The learning disruptions caused by the COVID-19 related school closures resulted in the need for extending the MDTF timeline for one year to allow sufficient time for the implementation of ongoing activities. As part of this restructuring, it is proposed to change the closing date from July 31, 2022 to July 31, 2023 of the MDTF. All Development Partners (DP) have agreed with the proposed extension and have already amended relevant Administrative Agreements. The Program’s PDO, results framework and overall closing date of April 8, 2025 will remain the same. 9. A comprehensive restructuring of the Program will follow the proposed MDTF closing date extension to adjust the design a coherent manner to respond to the new challenges, including COVID-19, the ongoing conflict and draught. The following restructuring will formalize agreements reached during the Program’s mid-term review and follow up missions related to: (i) impact of the conflict (reducing the scope of initially planned activities and adding new activities); (ii) adjustments in the indicators (KPIs/IRIs and DLIs/DLRs); (iii) changes in Donors’ co-financing; and (iv) additional activities required to improve progress towards the indicators.
