Education Management Improvement works in 20 districts and provides education and management training, technical assistance and grants to the District Education Offices of partner districts.
- Management Training
Building education management capacity at the district level is critical to sustaining gains in education quality because of decentralisation of the education sector. - Technical Support
Ghana is moving towards a decentralised system of providing basic education. EQUALL provides targeted technical support to districts to address their management needs to improve school performance in their districts. - District Incentive Grants
Every year, EQUALL offered District Education Offices the opportunity to participate in a competitive grant scheme. Funds are used for activities identified by the district to improve education management and literacy.
Policy Dialogue Support
EQUALL works with the Ministry of Education and Ghana Education Service to identify ways in which EQUALL experiences can inform policy reform in education.

- 2007 National Education Assessments in English and Maths (Primary 3 and 6)
