Harvey, Stephen
International Journal of Educational Development, v24 n3 p241-254 May 2004
This article reports on the experiences of the Kimberley Thusanang Project (KTP). It proposes that the project's use of a database system as a management tool represents a significant development in the design of effective education projects in South Africa. The article describes how this system assists project management in overcoming two key challenges: (1) blending accountability pressure with support and (2) optimizing the allocation of project resources.
