Evaluating the management of non-formal education programmes run by non-governmental organisations in Kitwe, Zambia

The last decade has seen a shift in the discourse on the role of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in the education sector in Africa including Zambia. The discourse is no longer ‘what’ role should NGOs play, but ‘how’ NGOs could play an effective role in the education sector so that they can equally be held accountable to the beneficiaries and partners who support their work (Granvaux, et la, 2002:1). According to Jamies (2010:1), NGOs have assumed a big role in education, particularly the provision of non-formal education to the youths and adults. In the field of evaluation, non-formal education has received much attention, but little attention has been paid to management of non-formal education programmes run by NGOs. This study is an attempt to evaluate the management of non-formal education programmes, taking the case of NGOs engaged in non-formal education in the City of Kitwe, Zambia. Mulwa (2008:45) observes that evaluation has gained much influence in projects and organisations since the end of World War Two. This is because people, organisations and governments want to have evidence of the causes and effects of what is working or not working in policies and programmes. / Adult Basic Education (ABET) / M.
