The role of non-profit stakeholders’ engagement in Funding International Education in Underdeveloped Nations

This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the importance of non-profit stakeholders’ engagement in funding international education in underdeveloped nations by evaluating the annual reports of the Education Above All (EAA) foundation and the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) for the years 2020–2021. This study conducts a comprehensive review by employing a case study methodology to assess the role of non-profit stakeholders, focusing on the analysis of secondary data from the above-mentioned annual reports. We found that in their efforts to improve global education, QFFD and EAA play an extensive role in funding international education; 88% of children who participated in QFFD and EAA programs completed their primary education, 72% of adults finished their lower-secondary education, and 53% of youngsters completed their upper-secondary education in the 20 underdeveloped countries targeted by these initiatives from 2015 to 2022. QFFD and EAA are heading toward pursuing the international agenda of attaining the sustainable development goals (SDGs) to ensure quality education.
