EQUIP 2 is an innovative program designed to improve the quality of education and learning outcomes by addressing systemic constraints. EQUIP 2 seeks to improve decision-making on education policy and programs and to improve policy and program implementation through the development of effective, sustainable systems, organizational capacity, and management. The focus on policy and systems in EQUIP 2 complements and supports activities in the other EQUIP projects, which address improvements at the school and classroom level (EQUIP 1) and issues related to youth and employment (EQUIP 3).
