Pan-African High Level Conference on Education, PACE 2018: conference report

The Pan-African High-level Conference on Education (PACE 2018) was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 25th to 27th April 2018. PACE 2018 was convened by UNESCO, the Government of Kenya and the African Union, with the collaboration of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and contributions from the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) co-conveners. The initiative to organise the PACE 2018 came in the wake of a number of regional consultations organised in Sub Saharan Africa and the Arab states regions to focus attention on the way forward, following the adoption in 2015 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Education (SDG 4) and of the African Union’s Continental Education Strategy for Africa 2016-2025 (CESA 16-25).
