World Education Forum, Dakar, Senegal, 26-28 April 2000
The World Education Forum examined progress towards the goal of Education for
All (EFA). The policy questions it addressed were the following: How well have
countries delivered on their EFA commitment? Which strategies accelerate the
provision of basic education? How can countries make the EFA dream a reality?
The Forum set priorities for the 21st Century.
The Forum was convened by UNDP, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF and the World Bank. It was
attended by hundreds of national leaders, United Nations agency heads, education
policy-makers and practitioners.
The venue of the World Education Forum was the Conference Centre of Le
Méridien Président Hotel in Dakar.
Six regional preparatory conferences examined the findings of in-depth
assessments of basic education and the recommendations presented to the World
Education Forum. The sub-Saharan Africa conference was held in Johannesburg,
South Africa, on 6-10 December 1999. The regional meeting for the Arab States
and North Africa was held in Cairo, Egypt, on 24-27 January 2000.
