The World Bank's Role in Human Resource Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: Education, Training, and Technical Assistance. A World Bank Operations Evaluation Study.
Ridker, Ronald G.
This study explores the recent trend where African countries have shown a decline in expansion of their school systems and in replacing expatriates engaged in vital public and private activity. The study explores policy options and traces the evolution of World Bank ideas and actions to help practitioners design policies and programs better adapted to the challenges of African development. The volume lists the following chapters: (1) "The Problem"; (2) "History of Bank Involvement in Education in Africa"; (3) "Selected Issues in African Education"; (4) "Technical Assistance"; and (5) "Conclusions." Four tables, 9 figures, 99 references, and appendices accompany the text. (EH)
