Devlop’ Le journal de Louvain Coopération 3 - Octobre 2016 Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: Louvain Coopération “Renforcer la collaboration entre ONG“ Quatre ONG universitaires belges, actives dans les pays du Sud et en Belgique, qui se rejoignent dans leurs domaines et lieux d’intervention, mais aussi dans leur specificite universitaire… Les points qui unissent Louvain Cooperation (ONG de l’UCL), ULB Cooperation (ONG de l’ULB), ADG (ONG de l’ULg-Gembloux) et la FUCID (ONG de l’UNamur) sont nombreux. Ces ONG ont en commun la realisation d’etudes ou de recherches-actions, la capitalisation des acquis, l’appel a des experts academiques universitaires, la diffusion la plus judicieuse possible des savoirs, la sensibilisation des etudiants a travers l’organisation de Campus Plein Sud… Ces collaborations existantes et points communs forment la base de l’idee d’une cooperation plus large, qui correspond a la dynamique du secteur de l’aide au developpement : rechercher des synergies, des apprentissages communs, des reseaux actifs. Les ONG, il faut bien l’admettre, ont souvent eu tendance a travailler de maniere trop isolee. A l’ere de la mondialisation, des nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication et des reseaux sociaux, il n’est plus possible, ni souhaitable de travailler dans son coin… Profitons au mieux de chacune des experiences, positive ou negative, des autres ! Juin 2016 fut donc une grande premiere dans l’histoire de ces quatre ONG : celles-ci ont decide de s’associer et de definir ensemble un programme quinquennal (2017-2021) qui vient d’etre soumis a la DGD pour une demande de financement commune. Ce programme comprend des actions au Sud dans les domaines de la Securite alimentaire et economique et de la Sante, et des actions en Belgique, d’Education a la Citoyennete Mondiale et Solidaire.

Accountability from a Human Rights Perspective: The Incorporation and Enforcement of the Right to Education in the Domestic Legal Order Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: ActionAid International | Right to Education Initiative (UK) The aim of this paper is to reframe States’ political commitment to education under Education 2030 as a legal commitment the vast majority of States have already made under international human rights law. By recasting the content of SDG Four as part of the right to education, the legal obligations owed to that content can be invoked. This renders various elements of SDG Four, ifthe State in question has legally committed to the right to education and incorporated the right to education in their domestic legal orders, amenable to adjudication by competent mechanisms, offering the possibility of legal accountability through legal enforcement. 
Accelerating Progress: An Empowered, Inclusive and Equal Asia and the Pacific Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UN. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN. ESCAP) | Asian Development Bank (ADB) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Accelerating progress: An empowered, inclusive and equal Asia and the Pacific responds to the theme of the 6th Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development and the 2019 session of the high-level political forum on sustainable development.The report proposes a framework of four synergistic elements necessary to advance inclusion, empowerment and equality: rights and justice; norms and institutions; resources and capabilities; participation and voice. The need for action on all four fronts is illustrated by a deeper look at three pivotal challenges confronted by the region – (1) climate change and its potential to deepen inequality; (2) the urgent need to boost domestic resource mobilization; and (3) the need to strengthen social accountability and civic engagement. It draws out policy messages on how an empowerment-and-inclusion approach to policymaking can be fostered, including on addressing violence against women and girls. The report provides strong evidence that promoting empowerment and inclusion are necessary approaches to reduce inequality and accelerate progress towards a broad array of Sustainable Development Goals. It is a contribution to the ongoing national, regional and global dialogues on opportunities to empower people, ensure their inclusion and advance equality.The report is produced by the Asia-Pacific SDG partnership, comprising of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Asian Development Bank, and the United Nations Development Programme.

Education for Sustainable Development: Learning for Change Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Jakarta The world continues to face a number of critical challenges: human-induced climate change, rapid depletion of natural resources, increasing frequency of natural disasters, spread of infectious diseases, loss of biodiversity, violation of human rights, increased poverty, and the reliance of our economic systems on patterns of mass consumption. These global issues are interdependent and demand a mode of development that balances the needs of environment, society, culture and economy and that shifts individual, group and industry activities towards more sustainable patterns. This move toward sustainability involves changing the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that guide our behaviour, and requires alternative ways of thinking, valuing and acting. Education is a vital for bringing about these changes. Our current knowledge base does not contain the solutions to contemporary problems – the search for sustainability will be a learning process. Only through education and learning will we discover new approaches toward a better future. 
Developing Holistic Indicators to Promote the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Asia-Pacific Year of publication: 2018 Author: Da Wan Chang Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok The internationalization of higher education has been emphasized by the global community to improve access and quality in higher education (SDG4.3), as well as to achieve other global goals by promoting cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. Even though the internationalization of higher education has diverse dimensions, ‘student mobility’ has been a predominant indicator and there are conceptual and methodological challenges in the existing sources of data and statistics. In addition to student mobility, this document proposes a holistic set of indicators to capture other important dimensions of the internationalization of higher education, such as alignment with international normative instruments, international networking, governance and management, as well as the mobility of academics and programmes, etc. The suggested indicators are categorized into domains on two levels: system and institutional. It is hoped that this policy brief will help users better understand and adapt the indicators for use in their local contexts, so as to promote the internationalization of higher education.
