National
EFA Forum
The
Minister of Education set up recently (on 23rd May 2001) a National
EFA Forum in charge of organising the working groups for the preparation
of the National EFA Action Plan.
The
forum consists of representatives of the State house, the Prime
Minister's office, various ministries, agencies belonging to the
United Nations system that are EFA sponsors, civil society and churches.
The tasks assigned to the forum are promotion and advocacy, resource
mobilisation, follow-up, production and sharing of information on
EFA. The forum is chaired by the Ministry of Education and a secretariat
has been set up.
In
addition, six working groups corresponding to the six goals of the
Dakar Framework of Action have been constituted. Their role is to
prepare thematic reports, conduct and disseminate studies and analyses
of activities relating to EFA, participate in follow-up/assessment,
give advice and express views, to defend at all times quality basic
education. The schedule provides for the organisation of a national
conference on EFA and the finalisation of the EFA report by July
2001 as well as the holding of a seminar for endorsing the National
EFA Plan of Action in October 2001.
