‘Validation Meeting-Mid-term Plan of Action for the Second Decade of Education for Africa’

I proceeded to the opening of the workshop on “validation meeting mid-term plan of action for the second decade of education in Africa” today. A very warm welcome to all overseas delegates ! The aim of this validation meeting is to make a synopsis of the actions taken at continental, regional and national levels to execute the Plan of Action for the Second Decade of Education for Africa and to define new line of actions for the remaining years of the Decade and their tangible impacts in order to inform interventions for the remaining years of the decade.
