What can we learn from Uganda's reforms in making education finances more equitable?

• In Event: Leaving no one behind: ensuring equitable finance for all children to learn

Proposal

Colleagues from the Uganda Ministry of Education and Sports will speak on the technical and political challenges around ensuring equity in allocating domestic and aid resources and how these have been tackled in recent years. The presentation will address the extent of educational exclusion and inequalities in access and learning and how domestic and aid finances have targeted the poorest and most marginalized groups in the past. Drawing on Uganda's experiences in recent attempts to reform finances to be more equitable, the presentation will discuss the challenges of the reforms and the role of international development partners.
