Category : Economic assistance
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
The purpose of the paper is to identify and describe significant sources of foreign assistance and their interrelations, with emphasis on the US programs of assistance to less-developed nations. It is designed to provide a partial basis for further studies on coordination and effectiveness of these programs including problems associated with coordination of US economic and military assistance programs (MAPs). The paper covers programs and agencies extending capital grants and loans, investment guarantees, technical assistance, and other forms of economic assistance primarily to less-developed countries. Public sources such as governments, UN agencies, and US voluntary agencies are described. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is also covered because of its role in stabilizing currencies that otherwise would endanger national development programs although it is not a source of economic aid in direct support of development programs. Military assistance is included only to the extent of the US program because of problems in coordinating US economic and military assistance. (Author).

Book Description
This book assesses the influence of the international organization UNESCO on the development of national Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems in the Southern African Community Region (SADC), focusing particularly on Botswana and Namibia. Designed around UNESCO’s Better Education for Africa’s Rise (BEAR) project, the study is an excellent example of applied policy research. Analysis is from the perspective of key stakeholders including UNESCO headquarters and field offices, Ministries of Education and of Labor, employers and employees, education and training institutions, international partners and more. Both qualitative and quantitative evidence are used to provide a comparative overview, and the author also reveals the current state of data on skills. Readers will discover common goals and challenges across the nations but also a common lack of action to measure the impact and influence that UNESCO’s programs have had at a national level, prior to this study. Were the newly implemented educational policies successful or not? If the public policies failed, why was that? These chapters shed light on such questions and how UNESCO's contribution influenced the national development processes, in the context of globalization processes and trends of global mass education. The book has much to offer for both scholars and those working in UN agencies or national governments who seek to develop education systems and better link them to the world of work.
