International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP)/UNESCO Dec 2007
Working with UNESCO and district education officials in Pakistan, InterWorks designed and facilitated Educational Planning and Management workshops for senior managers in the earthquake-affected areas of North West Frontier Province and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The workshops focused on emerging planning and management needs faced by district officials as a result of the October 2005 earthquake that destroyed thousands of schools in these areas.
InterWorks developed materials for and co-facilitated a Financial Management workshop in Abbottabad, Pakistan on 11-13 December 2007. This workshop was the fourth in a series of planning and management workshops for senior educational managers in the earthquake-affected districts of AJK and NWFP. The goal of the workshop was to contribute to the overall goal of “build back better” and to provide an opportunity for education officials to discuss their roles and responsibilities with regard to the financial management of their districts. The workshop provided district managers with the knowledge and skills to prepare district education budgets and to monitor the utilisation of these budgets to ensure that educational resources are used for their planned purposes in order to improve the quality of education in the districts.
Almost all the materials were helpful, particularly, budgeting, financial control and audit.
