United State government has announced a five year plan for development support to the education sector in Sokoto State. Under the arrangements, the U.S. government, through its Agency for International Development (USAID), will continue to support the education sector in the state.
To actualised this, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed by the USAID Mission Director, Michael T. Harvey and the state governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
This five-year MOU sets out the shared and individual commitments for collaboration in the education sector made by both USAID and the Government of Sokoto, and provides a framework for mutual accountability for education activities in Sokoto State.
The MOU supports the Sokoto State government’s goals and targets in its education sector strategic plans and establishes a preliminary plan for joint monitoring and evaluation of progress. “The United States commends Sokoto State for its extraordinary efforts to provide greater learning opportunities for its children.”
