We have advised on syllabus and curriculum development, teacher professional development and wider management and organisational issues necessary in a system of education.
• Identification, formulation and evaluation of education programmes and projects, including budget support operations and technical assistance projects. This includes for instance formulation of EU budget support programmes and TA projects in the field of education in Namibia, Kyrgyzstan and Laos.

The mission evaluated the Analytical & Capacity Development Partnership (ACDP) as a whole and its activities along the 5 OECD/DAC criteria, i.e. relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact adding to them the visibility criteria, which is important for both State policy-makers and the end-beneficiaries of the Civil Society.
