Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about EFASS, cash transfers, data and how to get in touch.

What is EFASS?

Education for All South Sudan supports learning recovery for the country's most marginalised children, while strengthening the Ministry of General Education and Instruction's own systems to sustain that progress.

How is EFASS different from GESS?

GESS focused on access to education nationwide. EFASS builds on GESS but focuses on learning recovery in 16 counties, and on strengthening government systems so progress lasts.

Where does EFASS work?

In 16 counties across eight states and Ruweng Administrative Area. See where we work.

Who funds EFASS?

The UK government, through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and the Government of Canada.

Who can receive a cash transfer?

Cash transfers will focus on the learners most at risk of dropping out, including girls and children with disabilities. The eligible classes are still being agreed and will be announced once discussions conclude. Cash transfers at a glance.

How are learners checked before payment?

Field teams validate eligible learners school by school using the SSSAMS mobile app, before payments are made.

How is my child's information protected?

Information is collected only for clear education purposes, seen only by people who need it, and never published in a way that identifies a child. Privacy and data protection.

How can I raise a concern or complaint?

At school, through your community committees, or through the EFASS feedback channels. Feedback and complaints.

In which languages is Our School broadcast?

Dinka, Nuer, Juba Arabic, Shilluk, English, Bari, Lotukho and Murle.

Does EFASS replace government systems?

No. EFASS strengthens MoGEI's own systems, including SSSAMS and the national EMIS, so they are owned and run by government.
