To follow-up the World Education Forum, Dakar, Senegal, 26-28
April 2000, the Director-General of UNESCO has decided to convene
a Working Group on Education for All. This group, that will
be chaired by the Assistant Director-General for Education,
will serve as an informal mechanism to provide technical guidance
to the EFA movement. It will create and sustain partnerships,
support regional and sub-regional networks, and will ensure
proper linkages among flagship inter-agency programmes, within
the Dakar follow-up process as a whole. It will facilitate donor
coordination at national, regional and international levels.

Plan for the Follow-up to Dakar. |

The Working Group, numbering about 35, will bring together representatives
of the following constituencies: developing countries and countries
in transition; bilateral, multilateral and regional agencies;
representatives from civil society organizations, non-governmental
organizations and private foundations, as well as from the OECD
