IntroductionxiiiEFA Mid-Decade Assessment (2006-2007)Looking back at the major reviews of EFA in Amman, Jordan, in 1995, the regional EFAassessment in 2000 and the World Education Forum in the same year, it is clear that toachieve EFA, it is necessary for countries to not simply continue to review andreassess accomplishments and remaining challenges, but apply the lessons from theanalyses of actual implementation of the policies, governance and strategies towardthe attainment of the targets of the EFA Goals.While the goals and targets set in Dakar are regularly monitored through the EFAGlobal Monitoring Report, periodic assessment is critical to resetting targets and plansfor achievement. In looking forward to 2010 and then to 2015, it is essential toundertake a mid-decade assessment of national and regional progress towards thegoals of EFA.Whether for EFA, PRSP, MDG, EDPs, CCA/UNDAF or CDF, without data and analysis,informed policy discourse and decision-making are simply impossible. With timely,relevant and reliable data on hand, governments, Education Ministries, EFA NationalCoordinators and Taskforces will be better served to support intelligent and systematicassessment of the past, monitoring of the present, and planning for the future.Meeting ObjectivesThe overall purpose of the meeting is to share updates within the sub-region on EFAplanning and implementation at the country level and explore future strategies andmechanisms to support the challenges faced by National EFA Coordinators andTaskforces. The specific objectives are to:1) Introduce the national and regional mid-decade assessment.2) Seek input and endorsement on the format, modality, timeline and output of thenational and regional EFA mid-decade assessment reports.3) Develop national action plans for capacity-building towards the nationalassessments.4) Provide regional input into the 2007 EFA Global Monitoring Report with focus onECCE through discussions, national presentations and dialogue.5) Present and discuss the regional implications of the 2006 EFA Global MonitoringReport on Literacy.6) Update National Coordinators on the latest developments in the EFA movement.Education for All: Reaching the Unreached
xivEFA Mid-Decade AssessmentMeeting Modalities/ProceedingsThe National EFA Coordinators meeting was held concurrently with the planning andcapacity-building workshop towards the preparation for the regional EFA mid-decadeassessment. In this regard, heads of statistical and planning divisions within theEducation Ministries across the region were invited to attend sessions with EFANational Coordinators. The National Coordinators also joined in the planning sessionsfor the mid-decade assessment.Plenary presentations were made about each EFA goal followed by small groupdiscussions. As part of the EFA mid-decade assessment planning, participants weredivided into peer groups – National EFA Coordinators, ECCE coordinators, educationplanners, education statisticians and international partner agencies – to discuss andidentify major issues to be assessed related to each EFA goal from technicalprofessional angles. Peer groups were given the same set of questions to guide theirdiscussions.To facilitate discussions and to identify issues from substantive cultural angles, peergroups were further broken into sub-regional groupings: South-East, East andSouth Asia. The recommendations in this report are a product of these discussionsand can serve as reference for planning and support to national assessment.Recommendations of areas for assessment and indicators to assess EFA will beconsidered in technical guidelines currently being developed. The medium forcommunication for the meeting was English.Meeting ParticipantsMeeting participants were National EFA Coordinators, MoE-nominated educationofficers, education statisticians and education planners from the 21 countriesrepresented during the meeting.
