They have taken stock of the progress made since 2000 and challenges remaining in the nine countries in achieving the six Education for All (EFA) goals, and reflected on the priorities and prospects for each country to sustain and further advance educational development beyond 2015. Their deliberations were based on a careful examination of the National EFA 2015 Reviews of the countries concerned, the Muscat Agreement adopted at the Global Education for All Meeting (Muscat, Oman, 12-14 May 2014), the Outcome Document of the United Nations General Assembly Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals, and took into account the Aichi-Nagoya Declaration on Education for Sustainable Development as well as the changing global environment that shapes the cooperation among the E-9 countries. 
Girls' Right to Education Programme in Pakistan Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Islamabad The programme is in progress in 14 very marginalized districts of the country selected in consultation with concerned education counterparts. Basic indicators for education, such as literacy rate, enrolment and retention of girls, and level of learning outcomes in primary grades are quite low in each selected district. Each province and area based project has three integrated components: (a) improving girls’ access through social mobilization and advocacy, (b) improving retention through improvement in school physical and learning environments – activation of parents-teachers committees (PTCs), school management committees (SMCs) and teachers training in multi-grade teaching and activity-based learning and, (c) capacity building of education officials at district, provincial and national level to create an enabling environment for girls’ education. All projects are implemented through local civil society organizations (CSOs) as implementing partners in consultation with national, provincial and area education departments. The programme is making significant progress in transforming the parental and community perception towards girls' education. Over seven thousand out of school girls have been enrolled in the target areas and retention is ensured through the provision of school facilities and improvement in overall learning environment.
