Access to Quality Education Program End of Program Evaluation Report and Management Response

Summary of publication

The Access to Quality Education Program (AQEP) was Australia's bilateral support to the Fiji education sector over 2011-2017 representing an investment of AUD$43.3 million. The program was implemented by a managing contractor, Palladium and worked closely with the Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts (MEHA).

An end of program evaluation was commissioned in 2017 to evaluate the extent to which AQEP had achieved its end-of-program outcomes; assess the effectiveness of program implementation and the relevance of program interventions; compile lessons learnt; and provide recommendations that could inform and shape DFAT's future engagement with the Fiji Government through MEHA.
