The National Multi-Year Action Plan was aimed to inform the actions of the various players in the education sector over five years to ensure that the targets of the ESDP V are achieved in an effective and efficient manner, with all agents being accountable for their roles. The ESDP V Multi-Year Action Plan (MYAP) provided guidance in the preparation of regional directorates under Ministry of Education, university, TVET, development partner and civic society plans ensuring alignment of budgets with sector priorities.
To ensure appropriate contextualisation and relevance across all nine Regions and two administrative cities, we worked closely with the Ministry of Education (MoE) to ensure engagement of stakeholders from ‘Civil societies, Regional Education Bureaus, Universities, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) agencies and development partners. The MYAP was meant to not only guide implementation of ESDP V but also strengthen linkages between the strategic document and activities to be prioritised at all levels of the education system in Ethiopia and provide further breakdowns and details about the budget across five years. Besides, finalising MYAP and its implementation plan with corresponding unit costs of all activities, we were involved in ensuring validation of the MYAP, producing supporting documents on the unit costs of the MYAP and conducting amendments and improvements.
