15. DAKAR FRAMEWORK OF ACTION (2000)The Dakar Framework for Action provided a guideline for enhancing literacy by declaring that, education is a fundamental human right. “It isthe key to sustainable development and peace and stability within and among countries, and thus an indispensable means for effectiveparticipation in the societies and economies of the twenty-first century, which are affected by rapid globalization”. The Declaration furtheraffirms that “political will and stronger national leadership” are needed for the effective and successful implementation of National Plans in eachof the countries concerned. However, political will must be underpinned by resources. The international community acknowledges that manycountries currently lack the resources to achieve education for all within an acceptable time frame. New financial resources preferably in theform of grants and concessional assistance, must therefore be mobilized by bilateral and multilateral funding agencies, including the World Bankand regional development banks, and the private sector”.15.1 Six Goals of Dakar Framework of Action for EFA:1.
