SDG4-Education2030 West and Central Africa

Regional Coordination Group on SDG4-Education 2030 in West and Central Africa

Introduction

The Regional Coordination Group on SDG4-Education 2030 in West and Central Africa (RCG4-WCA) supports the integration, implementation and follow-up of SDG4-Education 2030 in the West and Central Africa region, taking into account the development contexts and aspirations of each country.

The RCG4-WCA enables all major regional actors involved in the development of education in WCA to come together to define and coordinate collective strategies and joint actions in advocacy, technical assistance, and capacity building, and to exchange best practices, tools, and information for more inclusive, responsive, and resilient education systems.

UNESCO-IIEP Strategic Debates

IIEP is launching a new series of four Strategic Debates focusing on evidence-informed policy and planning – from design to implementation. Our debates will take place on 13 June, 11 July, 26 September, and 28 November 2024.

Each debate will focus on a specific theme and will facilitate discussions on challenges, innovations, and prospects in the use of data and evidence to inform sectoral analysis, as well as plan development and implementation.
