In the 1980s and 1990s, Muslim NGOs especially those of Muslim women, sprang up focusing on the development of Islamic education in Ghana. Although there has been enough literature on the development of Islamic education, much is left out on the historical factors that motivated the establishment of these NGOs. This paper seeks to fill this void and argues that the NGOs did not develop out of nothing. Their formation was motivated by the influx of international partners in both economic and educational developments in Ghana. Thus, although internal factors were very important in generating progress in education, international relations that connected to domestic policies were equally important.
