Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Development of Learning Materials for Pre-school Teachers in Timor-Leste.

The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MEYS) of Timor-Leste and the Government of New Zealand/MFAT established HANDS Program in 2014. The goal of the HANDS Program is to improve the access, quality and management of early childhood/pre-school education in Timor-Leste. To achieve this goal HANDS has seven output areas/components. The program is implemented by the New Zealand Government/MFAT, the World Bank and UNICEF.
