In March 2023, DVV International became a member of the Education and Academia Stakeholder Group (EASG), which brings together human rights-based education civil society organisations as well as academia organisations and networks that work on the right to education with the aim to engage with the monitoring and review of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The primary role of the EASG is to ensure and facilitate meaningful participation of human rights-based education and academia organisations and networks in UN policy spaces, including in the follow-up and review of the SDGs. The EASG seeks to influences policy by ensuring effective participation in UN processes, including SDG implementation mechanisms and spaces at global, regional and national levels. Such participation is brought about through coordinated advocacy at all levels; developing informed research-based advocacy messages, materials, and analysis; and engaging in communications and media work to raise awareness of critical educational issues – including both progress made and eventual drawbacks – in order to hold governments to account and push for the realisation of human rights.
DVV International sees its role at the EASG in ensuring, together with our partner, the International Council for Adult Education (ICAE) that ALE becomes an integral part of global policy frameworks on education.
