KIAT Guru (Teacher Performance and Accountability) Pilot aims to improve education service delivery in remote villages by empowering communities and tying payment of remote area teacher allowances with either teacher presence or teacher service quality. The pilot is a collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Culture, the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K), and the governments of five districts with disadvantaged villages. Yayasan BaKTI implements the program with technical supports from the World Bank and funding from the Government of Australia and USAID
