The study has been undertaken in Monduli District, Arusha region. The sample involved a total of 100 respondents who filled in the questionnaires. This sample has been derived through the application of purposive and random sampling methods. All of the aforementioned methods have been used to collect information on the role of International organizations in promoting access to primary education in Tanzania. The SPSS software package has been used for data analysis and the findings have revealed that the respondents benefit with WFP food aid in their communities. The teachers involved in this study agreed to have WFP as an incentive to students’ attendance to schools. Students agreed to have been attracted to attend classes due to food availability in schools. On the other hand, WFP officials still find that food aid cannot only be a solution to students and community as a whole in valuing education. WFP officials were still not satisfied with students’ general attendance to schools despite being assured of food security while attending classes. It is, therefore recommended that, since most pastoral communities fail to send their school-going children to attend classes, the government should enact strong legislation to make Maasai children, especially those benefiting with WFP food aid attendance to schools mandatory. Therefore, School-feeding programme should go in line with the education budget during every government fiscal year.enWorld food programmePrimary educationAccess educationTanzaniaWFPPromoting educationInternational organizationsMonduli DistrictDissertation
