Contribution to the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report (GEMR) and the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP)


The Global Education Monitoring Report and the International Institute for Educational Planning contribute to ensure equitable, inclusive quality education for all (SDG 4) by producing rigorous evidence, data and recommendations on education and by strengthening education systems’ policies, planning and management. Their work is critical for SDC’s global and bilateral policy dialogue and Switzerland’s added value on systems strengthening and evidence based policy and practice.

Contesto Access to quality education and the funding of SDG 4 have been severely hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Challenges in education systems planning and governance as well as the lack of evidence based research and sound data are among the bottlenecks of performing and inclusive education. In line with Switzerland’s Strategy for International Cooperation 2021-2024, the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) and the Global Education Monitoring Report (GEMR) play a crucial role to achieve SDG 4 through analysis and monitoring of education data, evidence-based research as well as capacity building and support for education planning and management. The work of GEMR and IIEP are complementary and nourish Switzerland’s global and bilateral policy dialogue and evidence based programming.
