Corporate Support Framework for education infrastructure
One of the key thematic areas of our institutional support to the education sector and other public institutions providing education, is resource mobilisation. With support from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and in partnership with the STAR Ghana Foundation, Eduwatch has provided technical support to the LGS in enhancing domestic resource mobilisation through the development and piloting of a Corporate Support Model to harness private sector resources to support education infrastructure. The framework was developed in consultation with the banking, real estate, telecommunications sectors, faith-based organisations, MoE and the Ghana Education Service (GES). The Office of the Head of Local Government Service is currently leading the piloting of the model in Ga South and Ada West.

Economic Support Model for the Re-entry of Teenage Mothers to school (ESTEEM)
With support from FCDO and in collaboration with the MoGCSP and the Livelihood Enhancement Against Poverty (LEAP) Management Secretariat, Eduwatch, in consultation with social protection and girls’ education stakeholders, including the GES and MoE, developed the Economic Support for the re-entry of Teenage Mothers to school (ESTEEM) Model, after a simulation in the Yilo Krobo Municipality in the Greater Accra .The ESTEEM Model is premised on the hypothesis that, while 110,000 teenage pregnancies are recorded annually by the Ministry of Health (MoH), financial access barriers constrict the re-entry of teenage mothers to basic school, especially in poor households. Complementary to the GES policy on the re-entry of teenage mothers and pregnant girls, identifying and providing stipends for teenage mothers willing to return to complete basic school, enhances their re-entry and completion of basic education.
