MAKING EVALUATION WORK FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SDG 4 TARGET 5: EQUALITY AND INCLUSION IN EDUCATION
Overview
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Education 2030 Framework for Action, adopted in
2015, placed equity and inclusion at the heart of the international development agenda. While targets
for gender parity, equality and inclusion in education appear across SDG 4 (quality education), they are
captured explicitly in SDG 4 Target 5: “By 2030, eliminate gender disparities in education for all and ensure
equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with
disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations”.
Tackling equity challenges in education will require a collective effort to progress towards inclusive,
equitable and good-quality education systems and ensure that services reach the poorest, the most
vulnerable and those who are most often left behind. Now, as never before, relevant and contextualised
evidence, driven by robust evaluation data, is needed to track and strengthen progress on educational
equity.
To this end, the evaluation offices of UNESCO, UNICEF, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation
(Norad) and the World Bank have combined efforts to explore how evaluations in the field of education
can better support Member States and strengthen progress towards SDG 4 Target 5. Leading on this
effort, UNESCO Internal Oversight Service (IOS) Evaluation Office has commissioned the following study,
which synthesises publicly available evaluation evidence on what works, for whom and in what contexts,
to advance on gender parity, equality and inclusion of vulnerable groups. In doing so, it assesses gaps
and challenges in existing evaluation evidence. The study also reports on the viewpoints of country-level
stakeholders, gathered through a series of workshops in five countries: Ghana, Guatemala, Lebanon, Nepal
and Peru.
