1 Weekly Newsletter UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa Issue to 19 May 2017 View this in your browser Message of the Director I traveled to Paris, France to attend the Education Leadership Team Meeting and IIEP Strategic Debate. This meeting was an important opportunity to look at sustainable models for the organization in managing our activities in Member States, but also assuring UNESCO s presence in the field. It is important to put the accent on full government ownership and to build the capacity of Member States to manage such activities. I am pleased with the outcome of the Conference on "Youth, Peacebuilding and Regional Solidarity: Lessons from Africa", that took place in Banjul, Gambia from 9 to 10 May The conference provided a platform to reflect on the opportunities and challenges of youth development on the continent and finding common ground on how to collectively address such challenges. The UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa also cooperated with IIEP Pole de Dakar on a regional workshop about the Management of teacher deployment in the basic education sector in Nairobi, Kenya from 17 to 19 May The issue of teacher deployment is fundamental to the success of the international 1
2 community s commitments to education. The recent Education 2030 framework for action refers explicitly to this issue by committing to substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers, including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries. In Rwanda, we continued our engagement in ICT as an agent for transformation. Within the framework of the Information for All Programme, priority themes have been identified as key in contributing to the ICT for Education Master Plan, namely information literacy and information accessibility. In the context of accessibility promotion, the Digital Talent Policy is now also clearly mainstreaming the needs of people living with disabilities. Furthermore, based on the UNESCO Knowledge Societies Policy Handbook a localized training manual on the subject has been tested among educators and civil servants and a national roadmap for the contextualization and use of the UNESCO knowledge society template has been drafted for Rwanda. During this week, the regional office is also participating in a UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) workshop on Impact of Adult Learning and Education on Health and Well-being in Hamburg, Germany. The Chinese-Fundsin-Trust Project, boosting ICT in teacher training in Africa is also commencing its second phase in Uganda. A validation meeting will be held on 25 May 2017 in Kampala Uganda to agree on the workplan and ensure full engagement of partners and teacher training institutions. Finally, three of our colleagues from the Regional Office were trained on social media network training offered by UNON Human Resources in Nairobi, Kenya. This training is important in making better use of social media and making more visible the work that is carried out in the region. I wish you a wonderful week! Ann Therese Ndong Jatta 2
