- Meeting EFA: Zambia community schools
- Community schools in Zambia were set up mostly in the absence of a nearby public school and/or in response to the inability of families to meet the costs associated with government-provided schooling. Supported by local and international NGOs and, most importantly, embraced by the Zambian government, this local initiative has grown into a national movement. This case study examines community schools in Zambia in an attempt to assess the contribution they make to meeting the educational needs of students and, in particular, orphans and vulnerable children.
