When developing "distribution strategy" results and offers of the carried-out gender analysis were taken into account and the plan of work with additional funding mechanisms is prepared.

The following significant element of "distribution strategy" this ensuring quality of the tested positive innovations through systematic monitoring of programs of professional development of teachers. This monitoring in turn became part of development of national system of monitoring of education.
