Country reports/OER

Below is the set of 33 countries which by the end of the POERUP project in late 2014 had country reports done by POERUP staff or contracted consultants. In many cases there are additional reports that are linked to the relevant country page.

Note that each country report for POERUP is a subpage of the equivalent country report for Re.ViCa or VISCED.

All POERUP country reports were first created in 2012-13 and most were updated in 2014, focusing on those where there was most benefit (e.g. for policy formulation) on focusing the limited resource for updating.

These are the so-called Rank 1 countries for POERUP. Marked in bold were those which were specifically chosen to be studied by partners. The others were selected to be studied by consultants and in some cases volunteers.
