This report is the second assessment of the responsiveness to HIV of Education Sector Plans which have been appraised and endorsed by the Education for All Fast Track Initiative (EFA-FTI). The first study was completed in October 2004 and found that the initial 12 endorsed plans did not adequately address HIV; recommendations were made to strengthen FTI processes. This second assessment reviews the 8 country education sector plans which were endorsed by EFA-FTI between October 2004 and November 2006. The review is dealing with a specific set of FTI-related documentation and should not be interpreted as a judgement regarding a country's overall policies or capacity. The 8 FTI endorsed plans considered in this study are from six countries with generalised HIV epidemics (i.e with HIV prevalence 1% of the adult population), namely, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar and Moldova, and two, Tajikistan and Timor Leste, with low HIV epidemics.
