Notes from 2008 EFA Global Monitoring Report: A Review of the Main Gender and Inclusion Issues (2008)
The GMR is a comprehensive document and covers a wide range of countries and situations. It does attempt a difficult task – to provide an overview illustrated with specific cases. However, the picture which emerges does give many clear signals concerning the issues and the solutions encountered. What is striking about the analysis is not that a great deal off new information emerges. The challenges are not so much in the finding of new solutions but in the successful implementation of known strategies and the creation of pressure on governments to provide what they signed up to in Dakar in 2000. The analysis is particularly helpful where it deals with hard data. The tables and figures are very welcome. -
UNGEI in Bangladesh Consultation Meeting Report (2008)
Bangladesh is welcoming the United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) with open arms. This was evident at a two-day Consultation Meeting organized by UNICEF Bangladesh on 16-17 September, 2008. Given the country's achievement in attaining gender parity in enrolments in primary and lower secondary schools, the question arises as to why Bangladesh still needs a network to promote girls' education.Stakeholders engaged in the promotion of education, especially of girls, including representatives of the Directorate of Primary Education, partner institutions, NGOs, academia, media, UN agencies, and UNICEF's Young Champions, all came together at the Consultation Meeting to respond to that question. They also came up with the way forward for the UNGEI partnership in Bangladesh.

Sections on each of the four dimensions include concrete activities that can be implemented as part of an overall strategy to achieve gender equality in education. Additional examples are provided through the use of text boxes, which highlight successful USAID education interventions. -
