‪The Covid-19 crisis had a strong impact on forms of public action. In Cameroon, educational policies during the pandemic show how hybrid modes of governance—combining State and international aid mechanisms—can be reconfigured by a health crisis. In contrast with the discourse on aid dependency among African States, this article shows how programs carried out by non-State organizations can be used by a government to support its own objectives. By focusing on the local level, this work also examines how State and international governance in education can be challenged, reappropriated, and co-constructed by both national and local actors.‪
