Abstract: Partnership is an approach used for effective human and material resources provision among agencies and partners based on democratic principles of understanding in pursuit of a common goal. Adult education programmes are provided by the government, Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and donor agencies. Yet adult education seems to suffer from a dearth of human and material resources due to a loose partnership framework among government NGOs and donor agencies. Hence the need to provide a benchmark for partnership among government, NGOs and donor agencies in the provision of human and material resources. Adopting a descriptive survey research design, the instrument was administered to 3202 subjects consisting of sixty-two proprietors of NGOs adult education centres, five directors of state agencies of mass literacy adult and Non-formal education, fifteen coordinators of donor agencies and 3120 adult education instructors. The data was presented using frequencies, percentages, means, standard derivations and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study revealed that NGOs have to submit quarterly the record of their staff strength to state agencies for mass literacy adult and non-formal education for resource planning and that development of materials in multi-language can be achieved through collaborated efforts of stakeholders. Thus, the study recommended, among others, that state agencies for mass literacy, adult and non-formal education, NGOs and donor agencies should cooperate to organize conferences for capacity development and instructors and development material in multi-language for adult learners.
