Unlocking
the FTI potential
The Fast-Track
Initiative began to take shape two years ago; by this meeting
it was much clearer what its potential is. It can be a tool
for more aid and more effective aid – a compact between
funders and developing countries.
FTI will:
mobilize more funds for primary education through the normal
channels of development financing;
assist those countries where few funders are currently committed
through the recently established Catalytic Fund;
put money into helping countries prepare plans where capacity
is weak or has been damaged due to conflict.
Regarding the shape of FTI to come, the Working Group called
for countries and donors at the national level to strive
for more harmonization and for UNESCO to become more involved
at the country level.
