Indicators for evaluating municipal policies aimed at fighting racism and discrimination Year of publication: 2005 Author: Jean Claude Icart | Micheline Labelle | Rachad Antonius Corporate author: Centre de recherche sur l'immigration, l'ethnicité et la citoyenneté (Canada). Observatoire international sur le racisme et les discriminations Ethnocultural diversity increasingly constitutes an important characteristic of major cities around the world. As the primary centres for national, ethnic and cultural intermixing, cities are becoming laboratories for new ways of “living together” (UNESCO, 2004). However, when this diversity is accompanied by inequalities, racism and discrimination, it can increase the social divide. Therefore, in order to benefit from the true advantages of the ethnocultural diversity that makes up the fabric of contemporary societies, it has become increasingly necessary to employ methods to correct social injustices, and to ensure the equality and the full exercise of citizens’ rights. Accordingly, the last few years have seen true efforts to conceptualize interventions by cities to manage ethnocultural diversity. These efforts rely on ideologies controlled by the state and on the values of equality, social justice, and respect for pluralism that are endorsed by different international organizations such as the UN and UNESCO, or by national organizations such as human rights commissions.To promote and reinforce municipal anti-discriminatory policies, UNESCO supported the launching of the International Coalition of Cities Against Racism1. The initial framework for this Coalition was the proposal of the Ten-Point Action Plan, which was adopted in December 2004 in Nuremburg.The present research report relating to the development of a series of indicators for evaluating municipal policies to fight racism and discrimination should be situated in this context. It was carried out with the goal of assisting cities that want to adopt public policies of diversity management and to fight racism and discrimination, and to evaluate the impact of such policies. The goal is to equip cities with tools that make it possible to evaluate, in quantitative and/or qualitative terms, whether their actions produce results that correspond to the major goals of adopted policies.

Participación del sector privado en la Educación en situaciones de emergencia: Derechos y regulaciones Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Las iniciativas que buscan garantizar una educación inclusiva y equitativa para todos han generado peticiones para una mayor involucramiento del sector privado, afirmando que las empresas y las fundaciones pueden jugar un papel importante como socios para alcanzar el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 4 (ODS4). En los últimos años, debido a la falta de financiamiento público y a la necesidad de respuestas urgentes, ha crecido la participación del sector privado en diversos aspectos de la programación educativa para la educación en situaciones de emergencia (EeE). Esta forma de trabajar, sin embargo, puede causar tensiones entre la participación del sector privado y la respuesta humanitaria en materia de educación. Es necesario resolver estas tensiones, lo cual requiere una mayor coordinación, abogacía y atención. Este informe explora algunas de estas tensiones y ofrece recomendaciones para apoyar la priorización de una educación pública segura, equitativa y de calidad para todos los niños, niñas y jóvenes afectados por crisis. La INEE apoya el derecho que tienen todas las personas jóvenes a la educación y reconoce al Estado como el principal responsable de la escolarización, en línea con declaraciones, marcos e instrumentos legales internacionales que reconocen y protegen el derecho a la educación.

As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind.The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda.
