Advisory Board
The Advisory Board of the Global Monitoring Report is composed of representatives from UN multilateral agencies, bilateral agencies, non-governmental organizations, civil society groups and networks, individuals from developing countries with an expertise in basic education issues, and directors of UNESCO institutes.
It meets once to twice a year to provide guidance and feedback to the Report team. Topics covered range from the outline of upcoming editions to the overall development of the Report, future themes and communications strategies.
The Board’s composition reflects the joint ownership of the Report and the commitment to make the promotion of education for all a broadly shared endeavour.
