Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the implementation of educational
projects assisted by NGOs to enhance quality of primary education in the
South Nation & Nationalities Regional State. The study attempted to
address problems encountered by NGO in implementing educational
projects in SNNPRS with the objectives of identifying key factors affecting
NGO project implemented for the enhancement of quality primary
education. The findings in this study may help NGOs and Government
Offices to take corrective measures for similar educational projects.
The study was carried out on NGOs assisted primary education project
implemented for quality of primary education in the region that were
selected using purposive and available sampling techniques. Data were
gathered through questioners, structured and unstructured interviews, and
documen!s from NGOs and regional Government Bureaus. The data were
analyzed using percentage, weighted mean and t-Test.
The findings of the study revealed that NGOs project implemented for the
quality of primary education were concentrated at accessible area of the
region. Constraints of upgrading unqualified teachers through in-service
truining, Lack of ownership of NGOs project by beneficiaries hampered the
efficiency of NGOs projects implementation. The study also revealed that,
the implementation of NGOs projects was constrained by lack of joint
monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and dalliance! absence of
performance evaluation reports. Therefore, it can be concluded that
implenientation of the NGOs primary education projects to improve the
quality perspective was found ineffiCient in South Nations and Nationalities
People Regional State.
To alleviate the prevailing problem it is recommended that the concerned
line bureau has to conduct quality need assessment to prepare project
proposal based on diagnostic survey and present 'it to newly applying
NGOs. In addition, concerned government agencies have to give due
attention to establish supporting mechanisms to provide project materials,
effective monitoring and evaluation, basic infrastructure and skilled
manpower by establishing links among the relevant institution continues
bases.
