  1. The role of the GAC Before looking at how we organise ourselves we need to know what we aim to do!

  2. This mission of UNGEI can be divided into at least three separate objectives: • Galvanizing more funds to girls’ education and gender equality in education • 2. Promoting the development of policies and other steering documents that are gender sensitive and non-discriminatory (or even actively promoting empowerment of girls and women) • 3. Supporting capacity development at country level to ensure effective implementation of gender-sensitive and non-discriminatory policies

  3. The test: If we see no correlation between the activities of the GAC and the situation of a 10 year old out of school girl in Eastern Ethiopia, then we are probably not doing the right thing!

  4. Assuming we are not interested in turning GAC into an implementing organisation or a funding agency, we have at least 4 alternatives: Concentrate on global advocacy Focus on global advocacy and knowledge management Focus on global advocacy and knowledge management –and work through targeted advocacy initiatives to increase the visibility of UNGEI in some countries Alongside GAC’s continuous and high-level work on global as well as targeted advocacy and knowledge management, assume an active role in promoting gender equality in education at the national level by contributing to the establishment and strengthening of national UNGEI partnerships
