The Guinean government and GPE Secretariat organized a regional workshop in Conakry in early May 2023 with two goals in mind: to foster a common understanding of the GPE process as part of its GPE 2025 strategy in three countries—Central African Republic, Guinea and Mali—which are facing similar challenges, and to leverage the opportunity for peers to exchange views on possible priority reforms.
GPE 2025 encourages discussions at the national level within inclusive groups of education stakeholders. Together, they analyze existing country data and evidence to identify what is working well, as well as the bottlenecks to system transformation, with a view to establishing a priority reform capable of catalyzing and accelerating progress in the education sector.
Here, in their own words, are the participants’ experience in the GPE 2025 workshop.
