Sierra Leone sets out its priority reform: foundations of learning for all. The reform focuses on foundational level learning, which is at the core of the recently adopted 2022-26 Education Sector Plan.

The process to develop a partnership compact was a comprehensive reexamination of the Education Sector Plan through the lens of the GPE 2025 Strategic Plan and its Compact Development Guidelines. The aim was to articulate a priority reform in a compact document that the government and its partners could collectively support with adequate resources, including with the support of GPE though the system transformation grant and other support mechanisms.
