Education Baseline in Africa: CESA and SDG 4 Monitoring
The UIS is launching a suite of products to ease the regular monitoring of the African countries’ achievements on both Agenda 2030 and Agenda 2063 through its ten years implementation strategy (CESA 16-25). The current products set the baseline for education in the African continent and provide an overview of the implementation of the regional CESA 16-25 and global SDG 4 education frameworks since their adoption in 2015. This comes in compliance with the commitment taken in the Nairobi Declaration to produce biennial reports on education in Africa (Nairobi Declaration and Call for Action on Education, §11,d).
