Education for All released to the world

From our National Research & Advocacy Coordinator Taniele Gofers:

FOLLOWING the successful MP visits in Canberra this week, RESULTS presented our Education For All report to a Multilateral Development Bank Roundtable. 

The report was well-received by AusAID, The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, who acknowledged the importance of the report in highlighting the work that needs to be done to ensure equitable access to education for girls and children with disabilities in developing countries, and encouraged RESULTS to keep drawing attention to these vital issues. Go RESULTS!

Personally, this was the 'advocacy moment' of my trip to Canberra because the meeting highlighted the impact that we can have, as members of the community,  by using our voice, passion and perseverance to get a seat at the table with key stakeholders from these large development agencies.

Harnessing the incredible talent at RESULTS, we can take advantage of this seat at the table by presenting the Education for All report and in particular, its recommendations to these agencies.

Knowing that they are taking these recommendations on board, and continually looking to improve, was empowering for all the individuals who worked on the report, but more importantly, it is incredibly exciting to look towards the outcomes this will hopefully deliver for education equity in the developing world.
