Challenge
The project addresses the lack of coordinated, grassroots-level planning and oversight in the education sector, which has historically led to inefficient administrative management and suboptimal budgetary allocations.
Description
Semiotics Consultants started developing the first EPWG in August 2012. The project included capacity building and other support, aiming to embed sustainability so that EPWGs could function independently post-project completion. All activities were led by EPWG members from the beginning, demonstrating competence and independence.
Outcomes
Established two EPWGs reaching 15 schools and impacting 10,000 citizens. Disseminated 32,000 copies of 6 research products. Formed EPWGs in Attock and Chakwal districts, reaching approximately 2,000 direct beneficiaries and an estimated 10,000 citizens indirectly through project activities.
