Key donors to education
Bilaterals
and multilaterals including UN
organisations
Don’t often think of NGOs as being a significant funder
ODA figures for
2012:
volume of education
aid
from
bilateral
donors channelled
via NGOs was US$1.3 billion (11% of total education ODA)Slide3

Methodology
Chose three large INGOs with significant education programmes:
Plan International, Save the Children, and BRAC
Explored:
their sources of income
the prioritisation of education within their programmes
the types of education intervention and the countries in which their programming takes place
changes over time in income and expenditure patternsSlide4
Presentation title and presenter information
Key findings (NGOs)
For all three NGOs, their overall incomes have been growing in recent years
Grant
funding makes up 25-50% of their income
Their
education programmes are of a similar financial size to that of some bilateral and multilateral donors
Their
programmes are more closely aligned to the
EFA goals
than government
funds and bilateral
aid
Education
forms a core part of
their programming
in situations of emergency and post-conflict recoverySlide5
Presentation title and presenter information
Key findings (donors)
By
contrast, for donors:
Much
of education ODA goes to higher education
Much
goes to countries where the needs are less acute
Education
receives only a tiny proportion of bilateral and multilateral humanitarian spending (UNESCO, 2014)Slide6

Comparative figures on education aidSlide7
Presentation title and presenter information
NGOs as donors
These three NGOs together receive around 18% of all ODA to education channelled through NGOs
Caveat:
we cannot assume from this that these three NGOs comprise a similar proportion of all expenditure by NGOs on education, as the degree of grant funding and prioritisation of education among NGOs varies. Slide8

Conclusion: NGOs and the SDGs
NGO sector as a whole is playing a significant and increasing role in the funding of basic education when compared to official international
aid
NGOs have an important role to play in contributing the proposed Sustainable Development Goals for education and will remain a key player in the SDG agenda
