In the last six months the project has also experienced improved progress related to the disbursement linked indicators due to strong monitoring by the PMU/MOET with face to face visits to participating provinces. This progress is reflected by the fact that approximately 97.51 percent of the project disbursed. In addition, good progress has been made to strengthen the practical sills of managers and teachers with regard to child-center learning. There has been a high quality interactive e-learning system developed for ECE teachers and managers. The EDI end-line survey found a big drop in the percentage of children at risk of vulnerability. The MOET has been encouraged to develop an ECE promotion and dissemination strategy to raise awareness of the project success related to ECE.
