In support of government efforts to address educational inequities in Papua and West Papua, UNICEF with funding from the Government of Australia and the Government of the United States is implementing a joint programme on education support for Papua and West Papua. The programme aims to strengthen governance systems of the basic education sector and improve learning and teaching processes at school level through service delivery of critical inputs such as capacity development of key education staff, improved planning and community involvement. This joint programme encompasses the 'Australia-UNICEF Education Assistance to Papua and West Papua' and the 'Striding towards Equity in Education in Papua and West Papua' (STEP) Programme.
