Dakar (IINA) – Delegates from the west and central African countries are set to gather together in the Senegalese capital of Dakar on Monday to discuss how to translate global Education 2030 commitments into action at the national and regional levels.
This three-day regional consultation and dialogue on the Education 2030 Framework for Action is organized by the UNESCO Regional Offices in Dakar, Abuja, Yaoundé, and UNESCO Headquarters in partnership with UNICEF and other Education for All (EFA) partners. The consultation also invites the participation of the African Union, Regional Economic Communities including the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC), along with education specialists from UNESCO offices in West and Central Africa.
“We want to kick start the implementation of the renewed education agenda as an inclusive process, with full transparency and accountability, engaging all the stakeholders and ensuring national ownership and a country-led implementation process,” said Ann Therese Ndong-Jatta, director of UNESCO’s Regional Office in Dakar.
“This technical consultation will build a common understanding of the new Education 2030 agenda, the global education goal and targets to prepare for and support its implementation at regional and national levels,” she added.
The consultation will bring together some 150 officials of ministries of education from the 26 member states in the west and central Africa region, as well as the EFA co-conveners (UNICEF, UNDP, UN Women, UNFPA and the World Bank) and other actors and stakeholders in education including the Conference of Education Ministers of Countries Using French as a Common Language (CONFEMEN).
