The Report is produced by an independent, international team based at UNESCO in Paris (France), with technical support from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) in Montreal.
The Report Team has been headed since mid-October 2004 by Nicholas Burnett, an economist with extensive experience in the fields of human development and education. He succeeds Christopher Colclough, who directed the first three EFA reports.
The publication is funded jointly by UNESCO and multilateral and bilateral agencies, and benefits from the expertise of an international Editorial Board, chaired by Ingemar Gustafsson of the Swedish International Development Cooperation (SIDA).During bi-annual meetings, the Board discusses the scope and contents of the Report underway and provides advice on its future development.
Each Report is developed over a 12 to 18-month period. It draws on scholarship and expertise from governments, NGOs, bilateral and multilateral agencies, UNESCO institutes and research institutions.
Funding is received from UNESCO, the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), Ireland, Germany, Norway and Denmark.
Research Papers commissioned for each Report are available on the website.
The Report is submitted to the Director-General of UNESCO on an annual basis and considered by the High-Level Group on Education for All , comprising 24 members, including government ministers, representatives of donor organizations, UN agencies and non-governmental organizations. Its role, as stated in the Dakar Framework for Action (paragraph 19), is to sustain and accelerate the political momentum created at the World Education Forum and serve as a lever for resource mobilization.
The Report is translated into both UN and other languages so that its messages and findings may be widely shared.
