Guidance Note: Education Finance Indicators

The purpose of this note is to help USAID Education Officers understand the state of education finance in the countries where they work. Education finance refers to the monetary and in-kind resources that are available for education. The sources of finance include the government (central, state, and local) and private sector (households, public corporations, private corporations, and nonprofit institutions) operating within a country as well as international development partners (multilateral agencies, bilateral agencies, and international nongovernmental organizations [NGOs]).
