Government's Coordination of Aid to Education: The Case of Namibia

This study analyses the situation in Namibia as it stood at the end of 1994 and documents the process that a government can use to coordinate external assistance to the national education system. This can serve as a reference to other African countries as they explore approaches to improved management of external support for their education systems. Although there has since been some reorganization of structures for educational administration and management of external aid in Namibia, and despite changes in government organization, many of the basic principles explored in the study remain valid.
