Programming Flexibility
Modern teaching methods, pedagogy and topics such as gender equality are now part of teaching.
In modern buildings, trainee teachers are able to acquire new teaching methods and practically apply them in teaching modules.
The Afghan Ministry of Economy’s monitoring and evaluation capacities are being strengthened through joint efforts. On 07th February 2019, the ministry and the programme renewed their agreement on technical cooperation.
While the measures in the priority area of Programming Flexibility cannot be assigned to any other priority area, they are also designed to permanently and sustainably improve the living conditions and prospects of people in Afghanistan and contribute to peace, security and sustainable growth.
For example, the German Government is working with the Swiss Government to assist the Afghan Ministry of Education to enhance the quality of primary and secondary education in Afghanistan. To this end, efforts are being undertaken to promote teacher training, revise curricula and gear learning content to a greater extent to the Afghan labour market. In this way, over 22,000 lecturers have already taken part in in-service teacher training since 2009.
A dedicated risk management system has been established in Afghanistan to enable the development measures commissioned by the German Government to be implemented effectively, even at times when the security situation is volatile. Drawing upon detailed analyses and comprehensive knowledge of the situation on the ground, security risks are being reduced and scope created for taking sufficient account of risk in decisions on the security of staff involved in the German Cooperation with Afghanistan.
Finally, the multi-faceted activities and achievements of development cooperation between the Afghan and the German government shall be recorded for communication to the public in Afghanistan and political decision-makers in both countries. For this purpose, an online database is being used to collect quantitative data to be utilised in a range of communications products and shared with the Afghan media. This raises public awareness of the Afghan-German Cooperation’s activities and increase transparency regarding these projects. Targeted monitoring measures also provide an opportunity to measure success and optimise future projects. Additionally, Afghan institutions are receiving assistance with aligning and evaluating their own development project work as effectively as possible and conducting qualitative data collection exercises and analyses.
