Summary

The event, co-organized by UNESCO and the governments of Ethiopia, Norway and the Republic of Korea, will present the case for increased and more efficient financing of education as an imperative to reach SDG 4 by 2030. The event will build on the conclusions of the World Education Forum in Incheon, Rep. of Korea, in May and the Summit on Education for Development in Oslo, Norway, in July, and will convey key messages from these assemblies to the Financing for Development Conference.
The programme will:
• present the “investment case” for education and demonstrate how catalytic and results-oriented development and effective partnerships for education can bring economic, social and environmental dividends in the long term;
• illustrate, based on recent data and needs analyses, the imperative for increased investment in education for development as well as the consequences of non-action;
• showcase success stories of country-led initiatives with increased domestic resource mobilisation alongside efficient development cooperation. Ethiopia and the Republic of Korea will share their experiences and lessons learnt; and
• discuss the experiences to date of global cooperation on education finance.
