ANHRE supports  NGOs, CBOs, youth and women leadership in the field of education through improvement of curricula, training of practitioners, networking with authorities and stakeholders, promotion of peacebuilding, advocacy and communication.

 

ANHRE, also is taking the secretariat work of the Arab Camping for Education for All-ACEA. ACEA overall goal is to improve the status of education in Arab world at local, regional and international level, to influence decision makers to advance and afterwards enforce the laws and regulations, in order to ensure that policies and budgets meet government’s obligations towards achieving the goals of Education for All. To achieve its mission and goals, ANHRE through ACEA collaborates and coordinates its efforts with a significant number of national education civil society coalitions that are located and operated in the Arab World including Jordan.

 

ANHRE as a secretariat body of the Arab Campaign of Education for all (ACEA) acts as the key mechanism at regional level which manages, monitors, coordinates and supervises the performance of national education civil society coalitions. ANHRE also provides them with the adequate support so they can promote national progress toward EFA and tackle critical education issues at country level. ANHRE and ACEA working approaches embrace raising public awareness and participation in policy making and enforcement, conducting advocacy and research, and monitoring the national educational progress towards EFA goals.

 

The national education civil society coalitions work focuses on strengthening their role and participation in national education sector planning and policy making processes; building greater public awareness; increasing engagement of the groups of interest in education issues, improving the quality of their research, policy and lobbying; working together across countries and regions to share learning and positive practices; as well as engaging in international education processes.

 

ANHRE has supported the capacity and performance of national civil society coalitions in 9 countries across the MENA region, resulting in some notable successes including participation in Jordan’s Universal Periodic Review in 2018 with all recommendations accepted by the government of Jordan, deftly influencing Arab members to contribute to “Debts Cancellation for Education Campaign” within “One Billion Voices”, as well as ongoing evidence-based research to inform CSO advocacy for policy change in countries across the region.
