| Summary: | The Association for the Development of
Education in Africa (ADEA) was established by the World Bank
in 1988 in response to an influential policy paper issued
the previous year on education in sub-Saharan Africa,
education in Sub-Saharan Africa: policies for adjustment,
revitalization, and expansion. Originally the association
was created as an informal network of development agencies
in Africa (Donors to African Education, DAE) having an
informal secretariat at the World Bank, but by 1994 (when
its principles of association were formalized) it grew into
a professional association of both development agencies and
African ministries of education. In a further evolution, in
1997 it changed its name to the ADEA. This Regional Program
Review (RPR) assesses the quality and independence of the
2005 evaluation of ADEA, provides a second opinion on the
effectiveness of the program, assesses the performance of
the Bank as a partner in the program, and draws lessons for
the future operation of the program. Independent Evaluation
Group (IEG) chose ADEA for an RPR because of the importance
of the sector in the Bank's mission of poverty
reduction, because IEG has done relatively few reviews of
regional programs, and because IEG had not conducted a
global or regional program review in the field of education before. |
