Component 4: Human resources development in education sector
About:
The E4E Project efforts under this Component will be geared towards improving the human resource capacities of educational institutions across all phases of the policy-making process. The core objective will be to support the institutionalisation of these processes to ensure evidence is collated and used appropriately at each stage of the policy-making cycle. This includes strategic planning, policy implementation, as well as monitoring and assessment processes.
In supporting human resources development under this Component, the Project intends to:
- Develop the professional knowledge, skills and understandings of staff from the beneficiary institutions by advocating an explicit ‘learning mindset approach which supports the continuous improvement of practice;
- Shape and foster a vibrant community of practice by enabling staff from the beneficiary institutions to learn collaboratively by engaging in ongoing professional dialogue and learning from and with each other;
- Align capacity development activities with technical support to improve governance and work processes, operational strategies, and underpinning Monitoring & Evaluation processes.
Main result:
