2. Current Situation

4. Evaluation Recommendations Global • Country-level GAC members • GAC membership review Create policy advocacy advisory group • Empowered Secretariat • Additional Secretariat HR Regional • For EAP • For other regions • RFPs’ time to UNGEI • RFPs to develop regional AWPs Country • Specific to evaluated countries

5. A Proposal – Global Level • Expand GAC (up to 30 members); constituencies (bilaterals, multilaterals, civil society, private sector, academics); application for membership; GAC populates Task Teams and can serve on Executive; annual meetings not needed • Advisory/ExecutiveBody replaces Co-Chairs; made up of constituency representatives; rotational; meets twice per year to approve global AWP and oversee implementation • Task Teams address specific issues e.g. policy advocacy, knowledge management, capacity development, CSR

6. A Proposal – Global 2 • Policy Advocacy Advisory Group meets annually; proposes focus for coming year. • Secretariat develops & implements AWP based on: • PAAG proposal • capacity development needs of country level • budget accountability through UNICEF mechanisms Undertakes M&E for Task Teams (policy advocacy, knowledge management, capacity development, CSR, …) Possible name change

7. A Proposal – Regional Level • RFPs develop annual regional workplans with large focus on knowledge (and data) management • Provide quarterly reports to Secretariat on progress against workplan • Allocate at least 50% of time to UNGEI

8. A Proposal – Country Level • Focuses on 4 areas: • Policy advocacy with MOE and government • Identification of knowledge gaps through situation analysis • Capacity development • Knowledge management • Reporting relationship – to regional level, not global level • Need to clarify relevance of current M&E framework

9. A lot at stake. Lots to discuss!
