For the record: Country reports
We aim to ensure that all governments include education at the centre of their plans for economic recovery and that investments in education include teachers, not only school infrastructure. Our interactive maps tell the story so that teachers in every country can keep one another informed. Are you on the map? Tell us about the situation in your country, and we’ll post it here.

Africa
The global drop in growth in 2009, will worsen the plight of the 390 million people living in extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. According to UNESCO collectively they will be US$18 billion poorer, that means a drop of US$46 per person. Aid provided by the European Union is predicted to be US$4.6 billion lower than in recent years. Countries such as Mozambique, Ethiopia, Mali, Senegal and Rwanda will be most affected by this drastic fall-off in aid. The reduced Official Development Assistance (ODA) to sub-Saharan Africa will have a detrimental impact on progress towards achieving the Millenium Development Goals.
