Decentralization of Education Demand-Side Finan (Paperback)

Demand-side financing is a pragmatic choice for introducing needed reforms according to the resources available, the local situation, and particular needs. This paper reviews World Bank education projects that became active in 1993-96 and that included demand-side financing components such as stipends, community financing, targeted bursaries, vouchers, student loans, community grants, and public assistance to private schools.
