international NGOs and donor agencies functioning in the field of education in KP, Pakistan. The researchers selected two donor agencies (UNICEF and UNESCO) among a total of seventeen through convenience sampling technique for the study. It was a mixed method research, therefore, questionnaire and semi structured interview guide were used for the collection of quantitative as well as qualitative data.

government has remained dependent on international technical expertise and fund. Donor agencies involved in literacy promotion activities are performing their task in the development of infrastructure, provision of basic school facilities as well playing their role in the capacity
building of teachers for the promotion of quality ducation. UNICEF has constructed Government Primary School in Id districts of KP the total number of enrolled students in these schools are 469.792.
