The PDO remains relevant to the education sector. GEQIP-E continues to serve as the flagship Program of the Ministry of Education and contribute to sustaining the basic education system in the country. Following good implementation progress the first six months, performance slowed down due to, among other things, inadequate understanding of the Program for Results (PforR) at all levels in the MoE, considerable delays in decision making, and shortages of personnel designated to the Program. These contributed to missing a number of Disbursement Linked Results (DLRs) during the first year of the Program. The Program was back on track after the restructuring in April 2020 and it was expected to achieve all DLR targets by the end of the fiscal year in June 2020. However, COVID-19 significantly slowed down many Program activities or completely stopped activities at school level due to school closures since March 2020. Out of six KPIs, three have shown steady progress since October 2019 (KPI 1: improvement in Grade 2 to Grade 1 enrolment ratio; KPI 2: improvement in Grade 5 survival rate; KPI 4: improvement in gross enrolment ratio of Grade 8 in Afar, Somali and Benishangul-Gumuz). KPI3 (improvement in girls to boys ratio in Afar, Somali, and Benishangul-Gumuz) has slightly declined but is generally on track to achieve the end target by the closing date. KPI 6 (The 2019 National Learning Assessment in Grade 8 learning outcomes in English and math in Phase 1 schools) showed deterioration. Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) of KPI 5 has not been conducted due to COVID-19. As COVID-19 hit the country, GEQIP-E had to be restructured again in June 2020 to increase the limit for disbursement of Advance. Overall implementation progress of the Program also remains moderately satisfactory. Out of eleven disbursement linked results (DLRs) in Year 2 (FY20), five results were achieved. These include: DLR 2.2. performance-based awards to best-performing primary schools; DLR 4.1 and 4.2: disbursement of basis and additional school grants to emerging regions; DLR 7.4. Joint report published by EMIS, GEID and NEAEA on learning gaps; and DLR 9.0. signing of MOUs between MoE and REBs on regional incentives and their arrangements. DLR 6.1. Procurement and delivery of textbooks to regional and woreda education offices is under review. However, five DLRs (i.e. DLR 1.2. implementation of quality enhancement and assurance program for O-class; DLR 3.2. increase in Girls-to-boys ratio in Grade 8 in Afar, Somali and Benishangul-Gumuz; DLR 5.2. school-based continuous teachers professional development; DLR 6.2. Delivery of textbooks to schools; and DLR 7.5. conducting EGRA) were not achieved or verified due to COVID-19 related school closures. These are expected to be restructured under the upcoming additional financing from the Global Partnership for Education in February 2021.
