National Education Foundation, an autonomous organization of the Ministry of Education, was founded in late 1994 with a mandate to oversee Public Private Partnership initiatives in promoting education across the country . In early 2002, the agency was restructured to give it increased autonomy and geographical focus (ICT, FATA, FANA and AJK). Its programs and interventions are aimed at promoting and addressing critical educational development issues including gender equality, improvement in literacy standards, community participation and socio economic empowerment. The NEF works closely with non-government organizations (NGOs) and community- based organizations (CBOs) to enhance their capacity to provide basic education and literacy to the children of their communities. An essential aspect is close co-operation with the private sector as government doesn't have enough resources to fund basic education for everyone. The current programs not only provide education but also mobilize communities to meet their educational and development needs.
