In favor of quality private educational opportunities

PROPARCO IN FAVOR OF QUALITY PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES Proparco, a subsidiary of AFD, supports private initiatives in developing countries providing quality education, as widely accessible as possible, to facilitate the integration of young people in society and make local economy dynamic and innovative.

100

million euros spent committed since 2013

52,000

students trained between 2015 and 2016

On their own, the public services in developing countries cannot satisfy the enormous needs in terms of education and training. The contribution of the private sector is often an essential complement, on condition that it is regulated and coordinated by the public authorities in order to ensure access to the education provided, as well as its quality and equity.

1,000

additional annual graduates in 2016

For this reason, Proparco supports the emergence of innovative, quality offers in private education through financing and expertise. It funds the creation, extension or equipment of educational institutions, vocational training centers or university campuses, as well as systems for student loans. It contributes to teacher training and the strengthening of vocational training in partnership with local businesses. Since 2013, Proparco has funded ten projects contributing to Sustainable Development Goal No.4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
