Working Paper: Education Resource Mobilization

In this R4D working paper, “Education Resource Mobilization and Use in Developing Countries: Scope for Efficiency Gains through more Strategic Use of Education Aid,” R4D expert Birger Fredriksen discusses options for enhancing the allocative efficiency of education aid by using it more strategically to increase its impact on national and global education outcomes. Since the agreement in year 2000 on the Education for All goals for 2015, the global dialogue on education aid has focused on increasing the volume of Official Development Assistance (ODA) to bridge projected funding gaps to attain these goals. The paper reviews reasons why more attention should be paid to allocating education aid more strategically.
