Facing the facts: the case for comprehensive sexuality education Year of publication: 2019 Author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team Corporate author: UNESCO Comprehensive sexuality education is an essential part of a good quality education that helps prepare young people for a fulfilling life in a changing world.

Evaluation of the Networks of Mediterranean Youth (NET-MED Youth) Project (2014-2018) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Maksymilian Fras | Yael Ohana | Kimiko Hibri Pedersen | Christophe Dietrich | Mamoun Besaiso Corporate author: UNESCO The Networks of Mediterranean Youth (NET-MED Youth) Project is a regional project funded by the European Union and implemented by UNESCO from 2014 until 2018. It followed a comprehensive approach through interdisciplinary activities in different thematic areas aimed at advancing youth legal and policy frameworks, enhancing youth representation in media, and reinforcing youth employability and skills in response to the challenges experienced by young women and men in the region regarding their transition to full autonomous citizenship in the civic, political, economic, social and cultural spheres. NET-MED Youth contributed to the creation of an enabling environment for young women and men from nine of the Southern countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy (i.e. Algeria, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia) to develop their competencies, to exercise their rights and meaningfully engage as active citizens in the development and implementation of national strategies on youth. The evaluation found that, overall, the NET-MED Youth Project was a successful initiative and created a momentum for Youth empowerment in the respective beneficiary countries. Its high relevance in the context of the Agenda 2030 resulted not least from UNESCO’s longstanding experience and good practices in working with youth organizations and youth-related stakeholders through youth engagement as partners and beneficiaries. The Project thus constituted a significant contribution to the UNESCO Operational Strategy on Youth 2014-2021. Gender equality was a central concern of NET-MED Youth, and systematically embedded throughout all activities as a transversal feature. In line with the Agenda 2030 commitment of leaving no one behind, several activities focused on issues of disadvantaged or traditionally underserved groups, such as youth with disabilities. Challenges identified are mainly related to the often difficult and in some countries unstable political environments. Together with the needs-based and rather context-specific approach in each country, this also affected to some extent the full implementation of the regional perspective. Furthermore, in the absence of a coherent and explicit longer-term exit strategy, the structures and results achieved risk not to be maintained, or scaled up over time, despite the strong local commitment and ownership created over the project duration. Through successfully incorporating youth aspirations in its design and implementation, the NET-MED Youth Project represented a new and innovative approach to youth engagement and empowerment in an interdisciplinary fashion, and should thus be considered as a basis for new thinking on which to build in the future. The high potential for replication of the NET-MED Youth Project, as a continuation or as an example of good practice for a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach is thus to be further explored. 
Report of the regional training for Anglophone Africa, Cracking the code: quality, gender-responsive STEM education Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO The African Union recognized the importance of science, technology, research and innovation in stimulating socio-economic development in Africa in its Agenda 2063, and even earlier in the 2007 Addis Ababa Declaration on Science, Technology and Scientific Research for Development. There is a growing demand for professionals with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills in Africa, and the so-called fourth industrial revolution is expected to create a wide range of new jobs in these fields. However, unless efforts are made to address the mismatch between current skills and what will be needed for the future, this revolution will leave a large part of the continent behind. One of the concerns of many African countries is the low participation and academic performance of girls in STEM studies. UNESCO, with the financial support of the Government of Japan and in collaboration with the Rwanda Ministry of Education, the Rwanda Education Board, and the Rwanda National Commission for UNESCO, as well as numerous partners, organized a regional training to strengthen the capacities of education systems to provide gender-responsive STEM education where all children can learn, grow and develop to their full potential. This brief report presents the results and next steps.
