The goal of the project is to improve the quality of mathematics education in Malawi.

Challenge

The curriculum and relevant textbooks are atomized in Malawi, and lead to a low learning achievement in mathematics. FCDO’s program to strengthen the teaching of primary school mathematics in Malawi, seeks to address this problem. The aim of this project is to support the Government of Malawi with revision, production and distribution of new mathematics teaching and learning materials.  

Method

With support of BlueTree, Mott Macdonald ensures a cost-efficient and quality book development, procurement and delivery of these new materials.

BlueTree has conducted a Book Supply Chain assessment of all the stakeholders involved in the book supply chain of Malawi. These stakeholders included the Ministry of Education (MoEST), print supplier and distribution suppliers. A procurement plan for print and distribution has been developed, with input from the program staff as well as other stakeholders.

BlueTree has developed a procurement plan for print and distribution, which involved the construction of an RFQ for printers and distributors.

Results

The project is split into an inception phase and a project phase. During the inception phase 100.000 mathematic and teacher guides will be printed and distributed to schools in Malawi. The target for the project phase is 2.4 million books.
