DANIDAName: Community Action for Improved Education OutcomesDonor: Danish International Development Agency Duration: 1/12/2007 – 30/11/2009 Pact-Myanmar's Community Action for Improved Education Outcomes Project builds upon our firmly established community empowerment approaches to address some of the country’s most pressing development challenges that impact on childhood education. The project will implement a comprehensive set of community empowerment and individual skills building workshops in 150 villages in the predominately rural Pwint Bhyu Township in Magway Division of Myanmar’s Dry Zone with a total population of 155,098. Over the two-year period Pact proposes to cover 75% of the total 202 villages in the township, concentrating on efforts to bring change in community-led health and education outcomes over the project period. Pact helps communities determine their own futures through the development of local responses to poverty, threats to health and barriers to education. Pact supports these responses through a combination of entrepreneurship training and financial services that helps communities design and manage responses to local health and development priorities, and by facilitating the creation of locally generated resources that address health, education and other development needs.
