Nigeria faces significant challenges in providing education for its more than 10 million out-of-school children. This problem is also a concern in FCDO’s partner States in North West Nigeria in which PLANE Window 3 is to be delivered: Jigawa, Kaduna and Kano. In response to this, FCDO has embedded Community Support to Learning (CStL) in its Partnership for Learning for All in Nigerian Education (PLANE) programme – Window 3.
This Scoping Study was commissioned to: (i) survey the landscape of CStL provision in the three States of Jigawa, Kaduna and Kano, and to identify gaps in and challenges to that provision; (ii) describe the governance structures of CStL provision, including the interaction between state and non-state actors; (iii) identify other stakeholders and donors with whom the Window 3 Implementing Partner (IP) should engage; and (iv) identify key issues for programme implementers to consider in greater detail.
