This toolkit, with its related resources, aims to help education activists reinforce their advocacy and campaign work on education financing. It aims to give practical information in an accessible form, together with ideas for how to build an effective national campaign – the evidence you can build and the tactics you can deploy.
It focuses on holding national governments, particularly Ministries of Finance (MoF), to account, challenging them when they are internalising ideological positions pushed by external actors. The toolkit is addressed to national coalitions, teacher unions, NGOs and others, to deal with strategic issues around education financing so that more money flows more effectively into education systems and more children can learn in good quality public schools. It is possible to achieve the Education for All (EFA) goals over the coming years if we build strong enough campaigns with a powerful enough evidence base.
It aims to help you build a national campaign on education financing. It includes a set of easy to read resources on issues that are often considered complex and intimidating. It helps you build your own understanding as a basis for raising the understanding of others. It is part of a resource pack on education financing which includes some materials that will help you to raise awareness and promote a national campaign, including posters and bookmarks
