In 6 districts in Uganda, 54 primary schools have been constructed under the Uganda Teacher and School Effectiveness Program financed by a GPE grant. Each of these schools will be provided with school administration blocks, water and sanitation facilities and teacher housing. It is expected that by December 2018, an additional 84 school buildings will be completed under this program.
