Contribution to Network for Policy Research, Review and Advice on Education and Training (NORRAG)

Progetto concluso

Being an international network, NORRAG allows policy dialogue between a diversity of actors. It provides just-in-time knowledge on international education and training policies. It supports capacity development and evidence-based policy making, particularly in the Global South. The period of shaping the post MDGs/EFA agenda (2013-2015) is crucial for recalling the importance of basic education and training. By covering these two themes, NORRAG is a strategic partner for SDC.
