A Comparative Assessment Of Higherlife Foundation And Mavambo Trust’s Contribution To The Quality Of Education In Goromonzi District

Abstract

This study is concerned with the role of NGOs in the provision of quality education in

Zimbabwe. It specifically makes a comparative assessment of the contribution to quality

education by Higherlife Foundation and Mavambo Trust, both local NGOs. The economic

environment in Zimbabwe has impacted negatively on the quality of education that is offered by

public or government schools, especially in rural areas. NGOs have come to the aid of the

government in capacity building in the education sector. The involvement of NGOs in the

education sector is hoped to contribute immensely to the quality of education. Most research

work on the role of NGOs in the education sector has mostly covered work by international

NGOs. There is little or no research that has looked at the contribution made by NGOs on the

quality of education in Zimbabwe. Most research tend to look at the general role played by

NGOs in the delivery of social services. In contrast to the above this research focuses on local

NGOs. It specifically aims to establish the extent to which local NGOs have assisted the

government in the effective provision of quality education.
