| description | Zimbabwe’s education system has encountered a number of challenges in the provision of basic education as one of the children rights that every state has a mandate to provide. This loophole has been highlighted by high drop out rates and low pass rates nationwide. The government of Zimbabwe after encountering an economic lapse from 2005-8 which also greatly affected the education sector, came to terms with the international donor community through UNICEF and the Eduaction Transition Fund was launched in Zimbabwe by the government of national unity (GNU) in 2009. The ETF had a mandate to resuscitate the education sector. The research entitled, “The contribution of the Education Transition Fund (ETF) towards the attainment of basic education for all in Umguza District” was aimed at assessing the impact of ETF towards school attendances and performance. This research was also aimed examining the implementation and programming aspects that surrounded the project and how best were they encouraging basic education for all in the area under study. It should be noted that the continued existence of drop out cases from mainstream school and even from the project was one of the challenges noted as the major findings of this research. Thus this research provides possible solutions to the challenges encountered during the course of the project as well as solutions to other factors that the researcher noted to have received less attention from the programming nature of the project. |
