The Education Sector Policy project addressed barriers (policy, systems and strategies, and organizational capacity) to improving Malawi's education system. The project had three integrated components: (1) support more efficient strategic planning and management to implement key sector reforms; including activities that address policies, strategies and planning for teacher education and HIV/AIDS; (2) strengthen education management information systems, through targeted needs assessments, in-country training of Ministry, Division, and District level personnel, and procurement of computers; and (3) develop strategic business plans for the University of Malawi and the University of Mzuzu.
