FTI - Global Partnership for Education

What is the Role of Donors at the
Country Level?
You are an FTI donor partner and key to making FTI work.
Here are the basic steps you can take to help get countries on-
track:
• Support the country to develop a sound sector strategy and program
• If the country needs support to develop its sector plan, donors may be
able to access funding through the EPDF. To access the EPDF, contact the
lead coordinating agency or the World Bank task team leader at the t
country level.
• If greater donor involvement is needed in the policy dialogue and d to
support program preparation, let the FTI Secretariat know. It will try to
find another partner through the global partnership.
• Exhaust your own possibilities to increase financing for the country
ntry’s
sector program.
• To pursue additional financing of the country’s s endorsed sector program,
inform the FTI Secretariat which will help to mobilize the resources at
the global level and through the Catalytic Fund for qualifying countries. c
• If you are the lead coordinating agency, liaise with the Secretariat riat and
provide up-to
to-date information on financial status and performance
