WASHINGTON, June 17, 2004—The following project was approved today by the World Bank’s Board:
IDA GRANT AMOUNT: US$51 Million
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The grant will be used to increase access to schooling for thousands of disadvantaged children and improve the quality and efficiency of non-formal schools, called Learning Centers. The Reaching Out-of-School Children Project will enroll half a million out-of-school children in non-formal schools to be managed by communities with support from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The Learning Centers cater to children from the poorest segments of society, who do not have access to primary education.
