CapEFA – UNESCO Education for All Capacity Development
Evaluation of the CapEFA programme – Capacity Development for Education for All (off-budget financing mechanism)
The programme aimed to translate global Education for All dialogue and advocacy into concrete national actions by providing targeted capacity development in teacher training, policy design, and TVET policies, with a focus on Least Developed Countries and on the design and management of Education Management Information Systems (EMIS). Main activities included supporting national authorities to strengthen teacher education systems, TVET policy frameworks and education data systems, and providing coordinated UNESCO assistance to improve education governance, equity and quality across multiple partner countries.
