Civil society has a vital role to play in shaping and monitoring national implementation efforts, including in areas such as education financing, equity, and inclusion. This webinar will provide a platform to share experiences from the ground and highlight how participatory approaches can strengthen outcomes across sectors, including education.
The session will feature an update from Themba Kalua, Director for the Pact for the Future in the Executive Office of the United Nations Secretary-General, followed by a discussion on national experiences. Speakers will share lessons learned, identify key challenges, and explore opportunities to ensure that implementation processes are responsive, inclusive, and impactful.
We encourage interested GCE members and partners to participate.
