Abstract: The study examined funding allocation for education and how it enhances teaching and learning effectiveness in sub-Saharan African countries. Descriptive research design was adopted for the study. Existing document was used for data collection. The target population was all the countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The sample selected was based on the countries that have available online information on education funding. Nineteen countries were selected in sub-Saharan African countries. The results revealed that the unsatisfactory funding for education programmes stands as one of the major factors militating against effective implementation of the programmes. It was recommended among others that there must be adequate funding to solve the myriad of problems in the educational sector in Africa.
