Evolving partnerships : the role of NGOs in basic education in Africa
This paper is based on comparative case studies of the evolving role of NGOs in the education sector in Ethiopia, Guinea, Malawi, and Mali -- four countries in which USAID has long-standing and substantial education programs and in which NGOs operate within the education system, many of them with USAID support.

Abstract
This study focuses on four key themes: the evolving relationship between government and NGOs in the education sector; NGO efforts to shape education policy; the relationship between donors and NGOs in the education sector; and the nature and evolution of the relationship between NGOs and "civil society" or nongovernmental stakeholders in the four countries studied. The overall finding is that NGOs have become an integrated and important component of education systems throughout Africa, and that across all four countries, NGOs increasingly participate in and contribute to the delivery of educational services, influence education policy, and are included by donors and government in different aspects of the education system.
