Résumé
Depuis sa création en l’an 2000, l’objectif du Fond fiduciaire du Ghana pour l’enseignement (GETFund), qui est financé en partie par les recettes de la TVA nationale, est d’améliorer l’enseignement primaire, secondaire et particulièrement universitaire. Cet article analyse ce qui, du point de vue des principales parties prenantes, a été jusqu’ici la contribution du GETFund à la réalisation de certains des principaux objectifs et défis tels que le développement des infrastructures, la recherche et le développement des facultés, la promotion des technologies, des mathématiques et de l’enseignement des sciences, l’accès des étudiants et l’égalité entre les genres. Sur la base des perspectives des parties prenantes, des améliorations potentielles sont recommandées pour le GETFund et pour son adaptation à d’autres situations nationales. Cette analyse procède principalement par une synthèse des points de vue des parties prenantes tels que les recteurs, vices recteurs, agents des inscriptions, directeurs, législateurs, dirigeants des étudiants, fonctionnaires, etc., avec des formulaires de décaissements et des notes d’orientation disponibles entre 2001 et 2006. Le résultat obtenu est une série d’appréciations portés sur la contribution du GETFund qui est comparée aux objectifs précédents du gouvernement et aux recommandations concernant l’adaptation du pro- gramme à d’autres pays.
