In 1970, after two decades of disappointing results from development assistance programs, USAID initiated a new policy, the education sector analysis policy. Its objective was to provide the kinds of information necessary for formulating education policy recommendations and assistance programs tailored to the cultural, political, social, and economic realities facing individual countries. / In this study, the origin and evolution of USAID's education sector analysis policies and practices were traced from their inception in 1970 until the present, 1989. Also, a comparative analysis was made of the recommendations from four sector assessments conducted the late 1980s. Overall, this study showed: that USAID did not successfully implement its sector analysis policy, that the analytical methodologies actually implemented obfuscated national differences, and that assessments generated almost identical sets of policy recommendations for the education sector regardless of the country. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 50-12, Section: A, page: 3873. / Major Professor: Sydney R.
