The "Learning2gether2" program continues Finland’s support to implementation of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) reform, focusing on the Upper Secondary School (USS) Academic reform (Grades 10-12) with a budget of up to 20 million EUROs over four years. The purpose of the appraisal was to assess the feasibility of the Programme as defined in the draft Programme Document (PD).
The key issues of the appraisal were the Programme’s relevance to beneficiaries and main stakeholders in Ukraine, feasibility of the proposed implementation strategy, organisational structures, TA support, work plans, resource allocations and budget, sustainability as well as the result orientation and likely effectiveness in Ukraine. An important question to verify was how the Programme fits into the NUS/USS reform and its different phases, and what its contribution to the reform is. The appraisal also assessed the integration of cross-cutting objectives into the programme plan. The appraisal also included the finalisation of the draft Programme Document.
