How does a country access the Catalytic Fund?
First, local donors at the country level need to endorse a country’s education sector plan. Therefore, if a country is interested in FTI, its government should contact the local Coordinating Agency for education in country. Each year, the CF Committee (composed of representatives of donors to the fund, The World Bank, UNESCO and UNICEF) makes decisions on which countries, among those with endorsed sector plans, will receive a grant from the CF, and in what amount. The CF Committee decisions are based on their assessment of the countries most in need and where the CF resources would be used best.
