What is the Fast Track Initiative (FTI)?
  • The Education for All - Fast Track Initiative
    (FTI) is a global partnership between developing
    countries and donors to accelerate progress
    towards the goal of universal completion of
    quality primary education by 2015
  • Partners include more than 30 bilateral and
    multilateral donor agencies
  • All low-income countries are eligible for
    technical and financial support from the FTI

4
Why was FTI created?
  • There are still over 77 million children out of
    school 44 million are girls
  • There is overwhelming evidence that education
    particularly for girls can
  • Break the cycle of poverty
  • Increase economic growth
  • Halt the spread of AIDS
  • Official Development Assistance (ODA) for
    education has more than doubled since 2000 when
    world leaders gathered for the Millennium
    Development Goals Summit and unanimously endorsed
    the goal of universal primary education by 2015
  • ODA levels are still far below the estimated
    needs of 9BN per annum

FTI Compact
  • Donors
  • Help mobilize resources and make them more
    predictable
  • Align with country development priorities
  • Coordinate support around one education plan
  • Harmonize procedures as much as possible
  • Partner Countries
  • Develop sound education sector programs through
    broad based consultation
  • Show commitment to education through strong
    domestic support
  • Demonstrate results on key performance
    indicators
  • Exercise leadership in developing and
    implementing the program and coordinating donor
    support

Mutual Accountability

FTI Helps Both Sides of the Compact
Mechanism to accelerate progress towards
universal primary education
  • Partner Countries
  • More efficient aid for primary education
  • Sustained increases in aid for primary education
  • Sharing knowledge and experience
  • Donors
  • Platform for aid effectiveness
  • Better coordination and harmonization of aid at
    national and global level
  • Endorsement provides assurance that sector plan
    is worth investing in

8
FTI Guiding Principles
  • One country, one education strategy, one process
  • Covering the whole sector
  • Realistic and Sustainable
  • Linked to the overall Poverty Reduction Strategy
  • Addresses 4 gaps
  • Policy
  • Data
  • Finance
  • Capacity

What Support does FTI Offer?
Technical Support
  • Knowledge Sharing FTI provides a global platform
    for sharing experience on what works and what
    does not (regarding strategies, donor
    coordination, etc.)
  • Guidelines. Appraisal guidelines, Capacity
    Development appraisal guidelines, etc.


Financial Support
  • Program preparation and Capacity Development
    support Education Program Development Fund
    (EPDF)
  • In-country resource mobilization The FTI
    partnership provides a global platform for
    mobilizing additional resources for the education
    sector
  • Resource mobilization for endorsed countries with
    exceptional limitations in external donor
    funding Catalytic Fund (CF)

11
Mobilizing Additional Resources
  • The FTI seeks to mobilize additional resources
    for education through four channels
  • Domestic resources moving towards the
    benchmark of 20 of government expenditure
  • Bilateral and multilateral donors (including
    IDA) already present in the country
  • Donors including private sector donors and
    foundations - not yet present in the country who
    are willing to provide new funding through the
    FTI framework
  • FTI Catalytic Fund

12
Financing through Regular Channels
  • Once the financing gap is known, in country
    donors present their proposals on how to increase
    support.
  • In addition, the FTI Secretariat raises awareness
    among donors not yet present to encourage them to
    provide new funding, either directly or through
    silent partnerships.

13
FTI Catalytic Fund (CF)
  • Multi-donor trust fund managed by the World Bank
  • Provides funding in the form of grants to help
    fill the financing gap for countries with limited
    donor support, while mobilizing more sustainable
    support through regular bilateral and
    multilateral channels
  • Funding of last resort

FTI Indicative Framework
Suggested benchmarks (not targets) drawn from
analysis of successful countries. Crucial for
long-term sustainability of MDG progress.
Indicators
  • 1) Government spending on education about 20
    of budget
  • 2) Spending on primary education about 50 of
    education budget
  • 3) Teacher salary about 3.5 times GDP per
    capita
  • 4) Pupil-teacher ratio about 401
  • 5) Non-teacher salary spending 33 of recurrent
    spending
  • Average repetition rate 10 or lower
  • Annual hours of instruction 850 or more

19
FTI Appraisal Guidelines
FTI has created a tool, the Appraisal Guidelines,
to help development partners assess the primary
education sector of an education sector
plan Purpose Encourage dialogue on
choices/efficiency measures on key policy issues
including
  • Adequacy of the knowledge base
  • Strategy toward achievement of the MDG/EFA Goal,
    including HIV/AIDS and gender responsiveness
  • Ownership by all stakeholders
  • Absorptive capacity and financial sustainability


20
Expected Outcomes of the Appraisal
A set of well-justified recommendations on
  • Volume composition of financial and other
    resources available to support the program
  • Key areas for capacity building
  • Support to close prioritized knowledge/data gaps
  • Arrangements for monitoring and evaluation
  • All donors align their support to this one program

21
FTI Process at Country Level
Government develops Education Sector Plan (ESP)
Local donor group (LDG) led by coordinating
agency Technical support and capacity development
Appraisal
Donors align resources around country plan(Paris
Declaration on Aid Effectiveness) 1. Current
donors increase funding 2. New donors, including
private sector, provide funding 3. FTI Catalytic
Fund
Endorsement
Government seeks/secures additional financing to
close gap
Implementation
Donors carry out joint annual reviews
Supervision and monitoring of progress by LDG
22
Key Challenges
  • Continue efforts to mobilize additional resources
    for education
  • Agree and implement recommendations to strengthen
    country-level processes capacity development
    (endorsement including possible revision of
    Appraisal Guidelines, policy dialogue follow-up,
    monitoring)
  • Complete quality endorsement process in new
    countries
  • External evaluation of FTI
  • Keep and increase political attention on
    education
  • Develop appropriate forum for addressing policy
    issues tracking learning outcomes, marginalized
    populations, etc.
