Aperçu régional: Amérique latine et les Caraïbes Year of publication: 2011 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) La dernière décennie a vu des progrès mitigés vers l'Education Pour Tous (EPT) en Amérique latine et dans les Caraïbes. Plus d'enfants participent à l'éducation préscolaire, de nombreux pays ont réalisé l'enseignement primaire universel et plus d'étudiants sont en mouvement du primaire au secondaire. La parité des sexes a été atteint au niveau primaire dans la majorité des pays et les taux d'alphabétisation des adultes sont l'amélioration. La région investit une part relativement élevée du revenu national dans l'éducation et l'aide extérieure à l'éducation de base a augmenté ces dernières années. Cependant, les défis demeurent. Les Caraïbes ont connu une baisse de près d'un dixième des taux de scolarisation primaire et 2,9 millions d'enfants ne sont pas inscrits à l'école dans la région dans son ensemble en 2008. Quelque 36 millions d'adultes sont encore analphabètes et les niveaux de résultats de l'apprentissage sont faibles dans de nombreux pays . Rapport Mondial de Suivi sur L'EPT 2011 met l'aCECnt sur les conflits armés et l'un de ses plus dommageables conséquences encore moins signalés: son impact sur l'éducation. États touchés par un conflit ont certains des pires indicateurs au monde pour l'éducation. Le rapport documente l'ampleur de cette crise cachée de l'éducation, se penche sur ses causes sous-jacentes et explore les liens entre les conflits armés et l'éducation. Il présente également des recommandations aux échecs d'adresses identifiées qui contribuent à la crise cachée. Il appelle les gouvernements à démontrer une plus grande détermination dans la lutte contre la culture de l'impunité des attaques contre des écoliers et des écoles environnantes, établit un ordre du jour pour la fixation de l'architecture de l'aide internationale et identifie des stratégies pour renforcer le rôle de l'éducation dans la paix. 
Recorridos nacionales rumbo a la educación para el desarrollo sostenible, 2011: análisis de las experiencias de los países Chile, Indonesia, Kenya, Omán, Países Bajos Year of publication: 2011 Author: I. Mulà | Daniella Tilbury Corporate author: Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) This publication has sourced information from a series of national reviews commissioned by UNESCO in 2010 and written by authoritative stakeholders in Chile, Indonesia, Kenya, the Netherlands and Oman. The selection of countries was based on: i) work showcased at the 2009 World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development held in Bonn, Germany; ii) submissions to the monitoring and evaluation process for the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD); as well as iii) through evaluation material submitted by UNESCO staff in regional bureaux of education. The countries showcased in this report are not necessarily the ‘best’ examples of the region, as many other countries are also progressing effectively towards implementing ESD. Rather, the countries selected illustrate the wide diversity of ESD approaches and initiatives taking place in different parts of the learnt world. The national studies were then edited and harmonized before common themes and lessons learned were identified to support other national efforts in moving towards the second half of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.

Human Right and Encryption Year of publication: 2016 Author: Wolfgang Schulz | Joris van Hoboken Corporate author: UNESCO This publication follows UNESCO’s new approach to Internet issues, as endorsed in November 2015 on the occasion of its 38th General Conference. Our 195 Member States have adopted the CONNECTing the Dots Outcome Document, in which 38 options for future action from UNESCO are set out; and the Internet Universality principles (R.O.A.M.),which advocates for a Human-rights-based, Open and Accessible Internet, governed by Multi-stakeholder participation.Encryption is a hot topic in the current global discussion on Internet governance. This research delves into the subject, to outline a global overview of the various means of encryption, their availability and their potential applications in the media and communications landscape. The research explains how the deployment of encryption is affected by different areas of law and policy, and it offers detailed case studies of encryption in selected jurisdictions.It analyzes in-depth the role of encryption in the media and communications landscape, and the impact on different services, entities and end users. Built on this exploration and analysis, the research provides recommendations on encryption policy that are useful for various stakeholders. These include signaling the need to counter the lack of gender sensitivity in the current debate, and also highlighting ideas for enhancing “encryption literacy”.

Water for Women, Women for Water: UNESCO's Chairs on Water and Gender Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: منظمة الأمم المتحدة للتربية والعلم والثقافة (UNESCO) The access to sufficient, safe and affordable water is a basic human right. It calls for governments, institutions, corporations and public and private organizations involved in the water sector to eliminate various forms of discrimination in the access, management and decision‐making processes involving water resources. Within the framework of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Programme, UNESCO has established five Chairs seeking to promote the engagement of women in sustainable development and water resource management. These Chairs integrate the UNESCO Water Family, consisting of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP), water‐related Centers’, the UNESCO‐IHE Institute for Water Education, the World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP), and a total of 35 UNESCO Chairs and UNITWIN Networks.Located in Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco, Togo and the Dominican Republic, the Chairs are based in institutions of research and higher education, working actively to develop human resources, build solutions, and share scientific and practical knowledge. They work in partnership with other academic institutions, as well as public and private organizations. They also pave the way for the research and higher education communities to join forces with UNESCO in an effort to achieve internationally agreed Development Goals and targets. With a high appreciation for the Chairs’ great potential for impact, IHP has strongly encouraged their projects and initiatives, as well their involvement in other focal areas of the Eighth Phase of IHP, in order to strengthen water security, enhance tertiary and technical water education and respond to the needs of communities, with a special focus on women’s needs. With their inception in 2006, the UNESCO Chairs on Water and Gender have built a remarkable combination of knowledge and experience in their area of expertise. Through their actions, the Chairs have successfully fostered cooperation and exchange of information among different institutions of higher education; conducted research and training activities on gender‐related issues, water and natural sciences; established networks between professionals, governmental, non‐governmental and private organizations; created new approaches to deal with the water‐related needs of local communities and succeeded in increasing participation, leadership and the role of women in the water sector.As a general goal, the Chairs strive to enhance women’s capacities through motivation, engagement, development of skills and education. They have been active in organizing learning courses, training sessions, workshops, conferences and a diverse range of research and community projects. The following pages present a detailed overview of the five Chairs and their goals, activities, and initiatives.
