Capacity Develoment for Education: the CapED Programme at a glance Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Education has the power to transform lives and is at the heart of UNESCO’s mission to build peace, eradicate poverty and drive sustainable development. Right now, 750 million adults – two-thirds women – still lack basic literacy skills. Around 264 million children and youth are out of school and the international community must have almost 69 million new teachers to reach the 2030 education goals. These challenges can be tackled effectively through education reforms. However, these can only take place when countries have the capacities to put this change into action. As well as trained staff, countries need efficient organizational processes, functioning institutions and the tools and resources to design, implement and manage tailored education policies and plans. This is where the CapED Programme steps in. By mobilizing UNESCO’s global network, the Programme provides selected countries with a cohesive package of support. It works alongside stakeholders to reinforce national capacities to undertake evidence-based education reforms that fit into their national priorities and respond to SDG4 commitments, in order to offer quality education opportunities to all.

Sharing Malaysian experience in participation of girls in STEM education Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) The Malaysia government has placed STEM as a focus in developing the country towards achieving the status of a developed nation. The government acknowledges the role of women as equal partners in nation building. Thus, various policies ranging from economy, education, women’s welfare and human resources have been formulated through the years. These policies have resulted in among others, the increase in women researchers from 35.8% in 2004 to 49.9% in 2012 as well as more women’s participation in selected STEM courses at the tertiary level. A total of 84 girls’ day schools with 6 of them as residential STEM Girls’ schools have been built since 1939. There are many female role models in STEM for the girls to emulate. This has been made possible by the successful implementation of the various policies related to women in STEM as well as innovative measures in facing the continuing challenges in STEM education.

Quality Adult Education Benchmarks for Indigeneous Education Year of publication: 2011 Author: Sandra L. Morrison | Timote Vaioleti Corporate author: Asia South Pacific Association for Basic and Adult Education (ASPBAE) In November 2010, in Indonesia, Asia South Pacific Association for Basic and Adult Education(ASPBAE) brought together a number of educators from across its region to discuss benchmarking quality adult education for indigenous peoples. Educators came from across the ASPBAE region including the Philippines, India, Nepal, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia and Uzbekistan to share experiences and to build a collective understanding of what constitutes a good quality adult education program for indigenous peoples. Discussions were informed by a broader ASPBAE Quality Adult Education Framework, which had its origins in discussions held in 2009. The Core of the Framework is grounded on ASPBAE’s commitment to education as a right, adult education for transformation, and adult and basic education as integral and inter‐connected components of the vision of lifelong learning (Guevara, 2010). Other frameworks promoted by ASPBAE for education to be empowering, pro‐poor, gender just and sustainable were also important considerations. The 2010 gathering served as a nodal point to discuss the ASPBAE framework more deeply and to reaffirm or create a set of benchmarks for indigenous education which can be validated through a subsequent national and regional consultation process. 
UN and SDGs: A Handbook for Youth Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sunyoung Hwang | Jiwon Kim Corporate author: UN. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN. ESCAP) | Asian Development Bank (ADB) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) "UN and SDGs: A Handbook for Youth" is an outcome of ESCAP East and North-East Asia’s internship program that brings young people closer to the work of the United Nations, as well as to the achievement of the ambitious set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As young leaders of tomorrow, it is pivotal that youth are informed and engaged with the global vision for the future. Over the next fifteen years, youth will not only directly experience the outcome of SDGs and plans, but will also be the key driver for their successful implementation. For this reason, it is vital to raise awareness about the recently adopted 17 SDGs and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development among youth, build a platform for discussion, and create the conditions for active engagement. This Handbook explores SDGs and the 2030 Agenda from a youth perspective. In the first chapter, it introduces the concept of sustainable development and outlines its historical development through the transition from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to SDGs. The second chapter discusses how youth can be harnessed as a major agent of change in achieving sustainable development, focusing on several pertinent youth issues in Asia and the Pacific. The final chapter introduces the UN system and its regional arm, ESCAP, explaining their role in the successful implementation of SDGs. 청년을 위한 UN과 SDGs 핸드북 Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sunyoung Hwang | Jiwon Kim Corporate author: UN.

ESCAP) | Asian Development Bank (ADB) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) 이 핸드북은 유엔의 업무와 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)에 대해 배울 수 있는 유엔 인턴십 프로그램을 통해 만들어졌습니다. 청년들이 내일의 리더로써 미래 글로벌 비전을 인식하고, 이에 적극 동참하는 일은 매우 중요합니다. 그들은 향후 15년간 SDGs의 결과를 체험하고, 목표를 성공적으로 이행할 핵심 주체가 될 것입니다. 그러므로 지속가능발전을 위한 2030 의제와 SDGs에 대한 청년들의 인식을 함양하고, 논의의 장을 늘리고, 적극적인 참여를 유도하기 위한 환경을 조성하는 것이 중요합니다. '청년을 위한 UN과 SDGs 핸드북'은 청년들의 관점에서 2030 의제와 SDGs를 개괄합니다. 제1장에서는 지속가능발전에 대한 개념을 소개하고 새천년개발목표 (MDGs)에서 SDGs로의 이행을 통한 역사적인 발전에 대해 알아보며, 제2장에서는 아시아태평양지역 내 청년과 관련된 여러가지 사안에 초점을 맞춰 청년들이 지속가능발전을 실현하기 위해 어떤 역할을 할 수 있는지에 대해 논의합니다. 제3장에서는 유엔 시스템과 지역기구인 ESCAP에 대해 소개하면서 SDGs의 성공적 이행 과정에 있어서의 청년들의 역할에 대해 알아봅니다.
