The following project was approved yesterday by the World Bank's Board:
CREDIT AMOUNT: IDA -US$10 million equivalent
TERMS: Grace period=10 years; Maturity=40 years
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will support the government's education strategy, developed through a nation-wide consultative process to enhance the quality of education and to increase enrollment in primary schools. The program is expected to benefit children who do not have ready access to schooling because of lack of classrooms. In addition, benefits will also accrue to those students who are in schools but have learning difficulties as they do not have regular access to books and teaching materials. Djiboutian society as a whole should benefit in the long-run through the development of a better educated workforce and the implementation of a curriculum more relevant to Djibouti's development needs. For more information on this project contact Hanan Dowidar at (202) 473-7199, or e-mail Dhanan@worldbank.org .
