Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
The development objective of the Better Education Service Delivery for All (BESDA) Operation Project for Nigeria is to increase equitable access for out-of-school children and improve literacy in focus states, and strengthen accountability for results, in basic education in Nigeria. This operation is well aligned with the World Bank Group’s 2014 Nigeria country partnership strategy (CPS) for FY2014-2017, as well as its adjustment under the 2016 performance and learning review (PLR). The program-for-results (PforR) instrument is considered the best fit to support the government’s universal basic education (UBE) program; ensure a focus on education outputs and outcomes; and incentivize performance at all levels. By focusing on an agreed set of results, yet allowing flexibility and incentivizing home-grown solutions (to respond to specific needs) at the state and local levels, the PforR instrument accommodates Nigeria’s federal nature. The BESDA operation is designed as a hybrid consisting of two parts: the program using a PforR instrument, and a technical assistance (TA) component, which uses an investment project financing (IPF) instrument. Given the scale of the challenge of out-of-school children in Nigeria, and the commitment of the World Bank to transformational improvement in education outcomes in Africa in general and Nigeria in particular, this operation supports a first phase of the government’s longer-term education reform agenda. The operation also incentivizes data collection on key education system attributes and outcomes, and use of these data in institutionalizing need-based state plans and in coordinated strategic planning across federal and state levels.
