Education Program Development Fund (EPDF)
The multi-donor Education Program Development Fund
(EPDF) was established by FTI in November 2004 to enable
more low-income countries to access the FTI and
accelerate progress towards universal primary education.
For those countries without education plans and weak
capacity, the Education Program Development Fund (EPDF)
can provide technical support and build the capacity
required to prepare a sound education plan.
The EPDF can also provide support to countries in the implementation
of their education sector plans by supporting
knowledge generation through better monitoring and
evaluation, and knowledge sharing across countries.
A Strategy Committee composed of a representative from
all contributing donors and chaired by the Director of
Education Unit of the World Bank provides overall
guidance on the use of the fund and on regional
allocations.
EPDF commitments total about US$ 58 million for
the period 2005-2008, with pledges from the following
donors: Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Ireland, Luxembourg,
Russia, and the Netherlands.
