UNESCO Jordan OpenEMIS P1892

Strengthening Ownership; Capacity Building; Sustainability of National Information Systems

Community Systems Foundation provided capacity development and technical assistance to Jordan's Ministry of Education (MoE) to strengthen ownership and use of OpenEMIS within the MoE.

In 2020, Community Systems Foundation and UNESCO supported the Ministry of Education to develop an EMIS Operational Plan. 

This plan focused on building capacities across the Ministry to manage and administer OpenEMIS at all levels of the Education system.  

In the first phase of support, CSF has provided technical assistance and capacity development to strengthen technical and operational capacities. In line with the Ministry of Education, Jordan’s vision expressed in the Education Management Information System (EMIS) Operational Plan (2020-2022), the capacity building exercises aimed to ensure the government can sustainably own and operate OpenEMIS. 

This current phase of work was informed by an evaluation of OpenEMIS Jordan conducted for UNESCO. The assessment recommended steps for the MoE to sustainably own and administer OpenEMIS, to use data for evidence-based policy formulation. CSF assisted with a hands-on approach of imparting the skills, knowledge, and competencies required for MoE to operate OpenEMIS, as well as technical assistance centered on sharing expertise to use the data effectively.
