Abstract
Increased funding for education is a key component in the efforts of the government
of Guatemala to put the country back on its feet. Ensuring that Indigenous groups
and women get their fair share of any increases was the goal of concerned civil
society groups. With support from IDRC they researched and published a proposal
for a more equitable distribution of education funding that would overcome systemic
discrimination.
Description
This brief was prepared by Bob Stanley based on a case study written by Bienvenido Argueta.
