Bridging Regional Education Monitoring Frameworks to the SDG 4 Global Framework
In 2014, the Synthesis Report of the Secretary-General on the Post-2015 Agenda, proposed four levels of monitoring with complementary objectives to promote a culture of mutual accountability, and to help countries progress towards achieving SDG4 based on their own contexts and starting points: a country-led, a regional, a global, and a thematic component.
Understanding the alignment and coherence between the global, regional and national education agendas is key to strengthen national planning and to prompt exchanges on challenges and good practices, promote mutual learning and, ultimately, lead to common actions.
A series of regional reports bridging the global SDG 4 framework with regional education monitoring frameworks was launched in January 2021 with a first report for the African continent, Bridging CESA and SDG 4 in Africa and has now been expanded to the rest of the world (Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Arab States, and Europe, North America and the Caucasus). Data tools tailored to each region have also been produced to contribute to the dialogue.
