Education

USAID supports girls’ and boys’ access to basic education

USAID/Mali

Education in Mali is challenged by recurring and prolonged teachers’ strikes, outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, and conflict resulting in frequent school closures throughout the country. With $21 million in 2020 funding, USAID’s education portfolio works to provide children and youth with equitable access to quality, relevant education. Priority goals include: 1) improved early grade reading outcomes for primary grades; 2) increased community engagement for more accountability and better learning outcomes; and 3) increased equitable access to relevant education services for under-served children and youth. Read more
