MINEDAF VII and Other Initiatives
COMEDAF I - Conference
of African Ministers of Education organized by the OAU, Harare, 15-19 March 1999
Meetings of Ad Hoc Committee of African Ministers of Education
Harare, 15-19 March 1999
The formal and informal
consultations between Ministers in Harare attempted to
address a number of thorny issues that could
not be settled in the plenary sessions, including mechanisms of steering and monitoring the
Decade Programme, possible funding strategies for regional and national
activities and ways and means of forging greater collaboration between the
different initiatives of the African Ministers of
Education.
Following recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee, the Harare conference passed a resolution requesting the
Executive Secretaries of the three initiatives of African Ministers of Education
(ADEA, COMEDAF and MINEDAF) to
continue providing technical support to the OAU, as requested by African Education Ministers, in the framework of the
Decade of Education Programme, and as one of the ways and means of assuring synergy and complementarity between the
three regional initiatives of Ministers. In that capacity, the three Executive Secretaries
were invited to assist at two follow-up meetings of
Ministers (in N'Djamena, Chad, 11-13 April 1999, and in Bamako,
Mali).
