Abidjan Principles highlighted at G7 Education Financing Consultation

On February 9th, Delphine Dorsi, Director of the Right To Education Initiative contributed to the consultation “Towards collective solutions for sustainable education financing” organised by the Mission for Feminist Diplomacy and Education, Coalition Éducation, UNICEF France and Agence Française de Développement as part of the French Presidency of the G7. 

During the session “How to ensure and improve the effectiveness of education funding”, Delphine highlighted the Abidjan Principles as a vital tool for strengthening the effectiveness of education financing and advancing the realisation of the right to education. 

At the end of session, a representative of the Mission for Feminist Diplomacy of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs noted that the discussion had deepened their understanding of the Abidjan Principles and their relevance to education policy.  

This exchange adds to a growing body of examples illustrating how the Abidjan Principles are increasingly informing education policy and practice, and helping to advance the right to free, quality, inclusive education for all. Learn more on the Abidjan Principles website.  

Delphine also drew attention to PEHRC’s policy brief “Demystifying Education Public-Private Partnerships: What Every Policymaker Should Know” which supports more informed and strategic policy making on public-private partnerships in education. The brief has been endorsed by 57 civil society organisations worldwide.
