Recognition, validation and accreditation

Welcome to the Global Observatory of Recognition, Validation and Accreditation. The Global Observatory of Recognition, Validation and Accreditation (RVA) brings together recent RVA developments that aim to contribute to policy and practice as part of UNESCO’s commitment to promoting lifelong learning for all.

Recognizing non-formal and informal learning

Through the Global Observatory of RVA, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) collects and disseminates best practices at different stages of the development of RVA systems. The Global Observatory of RVA provides easy access to information on RVA in UNESCO Member States. It invites policymakers, national experts, practitioners and all those with a professional interest in RVA to share and exchange their country’s RVA models.

The Global Observatory of Recognition, Validation and Accreditation plays a major role in implementing the UNESCO Guidelines for the Recognition, Validation and Accreditation of the Outcomes of Non-formal and Informal Learning.

Recognition, validation and accreditation in education and training

RVA country profiles in education and training and RVA case studies make up an important part of the Global Observatory of Recognition, Validation and Accreditation. The RVA country profiles of RVA in education and training outline the challenges that RVA addresses and describe developments in standards, policy and frameworks. The RVA case studies cover implementation in three sectors: education, training and the world of work, and civil society.

UIL works in consultation with members of the Global Observatory network, which comprises national experts, officials and practitioners, before making the information publicly available. UIL adds further RVA country profiles and case studies and updates existing ones on an ongoing basis as it receives responses from Member States about their RVA systems.
