Despite a 1-year suspension, a truncated time frame, and a sharply reduced budget, USAID's Primary Education Development (PED) program (1989-94), designed to promote access to primary education, particularly for rural girls, in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Balochistan Province, was a stunning success. PED increased the number of girls' schools by 2,100 (a 70% increase), as well as girls' access to primary schools from 348,000 in grades 1-5 in 1989 to 761,300 in 1996. Boys' enrollment also increased over that period, from 1.3 million to 1.6 million. PED achieved the rapid gains in primary school participation by negotiating policies that developed and strengthened new primary institutions and supported new programs. Three strategies were especially effective: (1) communicating one clear goal -- enrolling girls in primary school; (2) opening more schools for girls through construction grants and innovative strategies such as the Community Support Program and promotion of "fellowship schools" (private urban nonformal schools for girls) in Balochistan and "genderless" schools in NWFP; and (3) recruiting and training more female teachers for rural schools.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
