Some of the earlier subprojects carried out under the first project are incomplete and a number of facilities are under-used. The situation improved under the second project, as prototype designs were standardized and training pro-grams increased. Education subprojects seem to be the most successful part of the program. Schools have been built, rehabilitated, and equipped, greatly improving the learning process. School attendance has increased significantly in new boarding schools, which provide food and shelter for students from remote areas.
Education now accounts for nearly half of all FIS financing.
