Biennial sectoral priority 2: Strengthening global leadership in education
Main line of action 4: Reinforcing leadership for EFA through advocacy,
partnerships and monitoring
01056 Despite great progress towards universal primary education, the world remains far from achieving the full
set of EFA goals. With only four years until 2015, new impetus is needed to make sure that EFA remains
on the world agenda despite the economic downturn and competing priorities. UNESCO, together
with its partners, will make more visible efforts to put education high on the development agenda.
Under Main line of action 4, UNESCO will actively strengthen EFA coordination and partnerships, and
advocate for education for girls and women as a development imperative. Furthermore, it will guide
the international community by monitoring the realization of the right to education and progress at
the global, regional and national levels towards the achievement of the EFA goals. Finally, it will begin
to develop a vision for education beyond 2015 in close cooperation with the international education
community, and reinforce its research and foresight function as a true laboratory of ideas.
EFA coordination, advocacy and partnerships
01057 The Dakar Framework for Action stipulates that “UNESCO will continue its mandated role in
coordinating EFA partners and maintaining their collaborative momentum”. This coordination
encompasses four key functions: policy dialogue; monitoring; advocacy; and mobilization of funding.
UNESCO will facilitate policy dialogue and knowledge generation on EFA between governments and
with different partners in order to support the development and implementation of effective education
policies and initiate global debates on EFA beyond 2015. It will continue to monitor EFA progress
and make the results public. Furthermore, the Organization will increase the visibility of EFA and
advocate more broadly for education, also by ensuring stronger linkages between EFA and the broader
development agenda. It will mobilize financial resources for EFA and support capacity development
