Abstract
BANFES was a USAID-funded project in Lesotho. The project focused on four parts of the Ministry of Education: the headquarters of the Ministry; the National Teacher Training College; the National curriculum Development Center; and, the Rural Skills Training Center. CIE worked with each of these four institutions to upgrade teacher training and provide integrated training packages appropriate to personnel needs across all project sectors. The CIE contract was for $4.5 million.
I have chosen to report my work by logframe outputs, using the question and answer format developed by the Project Evaluation Office for conducting interviews and collecting data on initiatives which were not otherwise evaluated. The second section relates my work to the relevant contractual obligations. Finally, I attempt to summarize what has been accomplished, and to reflect on the current situation and possible directions for the future. My work with BANFES in Lesotho covers the period beginning in September 1985 and concluding in February 1991. Throughout this period, I have been assigned to work as "Practical Skills Education Specialist" at the National Teacher Training College (NTTC). In late 1988, I was asked to work cross-component with the Horne Economics and Health and Physical Education Divisions at the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC). Following the departure of the previous component coordinators in January 1990, I also assumed responsbility for coordination of Component II.
