African Union Pan-African Conference on Girls and Women’s Education (AU/PANCOGEd)
1st Edition

Following the fourth ordinary session of the Specialized Technical Committee on Education, Science and Technology (STC-EST4) in 2022, the Declarations from both the UN Transforming Education Summit, the High-level Side Event on Transforming Education in Africa, the Declaration and upcoming launch of the AU Theme of Year 2024 titled ˝Educate an African fit for the 21st Century – Building resilient education systems for increased access to inclusive, lifelong, quality, and relevant learning in Africa.˝ as well as the  Dakar Declaration under the theme “Assessing Learning Losses to Embrace Learning Recovery for African Girls” adopted at the Experts Meeting held in Senegal 21st – 23rd June 2022, and the #AfricaEducatesHer campaign; there is a growing recognition to increase and invest in girls and women’s access to education in Africa.

The African Union CIEFFA is convening all key stakeholders working on the intersections of gender equality, education, and social protection at the AU/PANCOGEd: ‘Prioritizing Girls and Women’s Education: A Strategy for increased access to inclusive, lifelong, quality, and relevant learning in Africa’.

In recognition of 2024 as the African Union Year of Education under the theme ‘Educate an African fit for the 21st Century: Building resilient education systems for increased access to inclusive, lifelong, quality, and relevant learning in Africa’, this conference intends to convene all key voices on girls and women’s education. The main purpose of the conference is to position equitable access to quality education for girls and women, and particularly in humanitarian situations during the AU Theme of year 2024, collectively evaluate the status of girls and women’s education in Africa, galvanize support for financing, and strengthen advocacy towards high-level adoption of gender transformative and inclusive policies and frameworks.

La cause de l’éducation de la jeune fille et de la femme d’une femme générale m’interpelle naturellement et je milite pour cette cause depuis plus d’une décennie dans mon pays le Mali et en Afrique d’une façon générale.
