FTI Reform Agenda

FTI's Reform Agenda reflects the EFA FTI Board of Directors' vision for an effective, results oriented partnership focused on reinvigorating the global community in support of the 2015 EFA goals. The reformed FTI leverages skills, resources and comparative advantages of all partners to:

  • Decrease the ratio of children out of school in low-income countries from 21.5% in 2007 to under 5% in 2015.
  • Double external funding to basic education in low-income countries, along with increased domestic funding.
  • Increase the ratio of children able to read after two years of schooling from under 10% in 2009 to 50% by 2015.

Reform areas shown below are informed by lessons learned since EFA FTI's inception in 2002, as well as recommendations and observations of a mid-term external evaluation and the 2010 UNESCO Global Monitoring Report.
