As development partners there was concern to know each other and share information concerning the activities in the Education sector. In her closing remarks, Ms. Connie called upon the partners to map out stakeholders in the Education sector who would be of importance in promoting basic education since it was not possible for the program to provide everything. All together the participants pledged to work with the Government Institutions responsible for Education.
