International Partnerships
As of January 2013, a $25 million loan to Peru’s Ministry of Education was approved by the World Bank Board of Directors. According to a World Bank Press release, “The technical assistance provided to Peru by the World Bank in recent years includes Government support to disseminate results of the second-grade Student Evaluation Survey, international internships and workshops with experts to learn from relevant experiences in other places, and recently a new operation to strengthen higher education accreditation and quality assurance systems” (2013).
Peru is part of the Millennium Development Goals and therefore is one of the 164 governments pledged to achieve Education For All.

- The Peru-UNICEF Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) was prepared in 2003 at the request of UNICEF Country Office in Lima in consultation with the Government of Peru.
- The Programme is known as a leader for its conceptualization and experimentation in the implementation of the Human Rights-Based Approach. This reputation, which goes beyond Latin America, is a key result of the Country Programme of Cooperation.
- In 2004 CPC had a programme budgeted at around $5 million annually (including a relatively small contribution to Regular Resources from UNICEF and another, more significant amount to Other Resources from external partners).
