Aid effectiveness and education
Specifically, these aid instruments are being applied to the education sector of various developing countries. As a result, there is a growing body of literature on the aid paradigm and the education sector. Experiences of using aid instruments are providing lessons for the education sector. In order to effectively integrate these processes and mechanisms, new procedures must be adopted. Guidelines, memorandums of understanding and indicators offer insights into the process of adopting aid modalities for the development of education sector.
