UNESCO
Category 2 Centres are recognized as an important extension of UNESCO’s programme delivery arm and a means to raise UNESCO’s profile in Member States. All Category 2 Centres in education contribute to one or more of the Sector’s priority areas of teachers, literacy, TVET, and sector-wide planning.
Category 2 Centres also provide opportunities to showcase and share the capacity, technical expertise, and knowledge of Member States. They can facilitate regional networking and have the potential to act as resource hubs in specific education fields.
