Concern for achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015
has led to a focus on the role that non-state providers (NSPs) can
offer in extending access and improving quality of basic services.
While NSPs can help to fill a gap in provision to those excluded
from state provision, recent growth in both for-profit and
not-for-profit providers in developing countries has sometimes
resulted in fragmentation of service delivery. To address this,
attention is increasingly given in the education sector to
developing 'partnerships' between governments and NSPs.
Partnerships are further driven by the expectation that the state
has the moral, social, and legal responsibility for overall
education service delivery and so should play a role in
facilitating and regulating NSPs. Even where the ultimate aim of
both non-state providers and the state is to provide education of
acceptable quality to all children, this book provides evidence
from diverse contexts across Africa, South Asia, and Latin America
to highlight the challenges in them partnering to achieve this.
This book was published as a special issue of Development in
Practice.
