A model of good practice for institutional and technical cooperation: UIL and UNESCO/BREDA join forces for RAMAA project

The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) and the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Education in Africa (UNESCO/BREDA) are joining forces to give African countries a measurement system for the monitoring and evaluation of non-formal education. From 18–20 July 2011 they ran a second technical workshop in Rabat (Morocco) to validate skill descriptions and develop frameworks for the creation of measurement tools. This meeting, which took place at the halfway point in the process of developing measurement tools for action research on measuring literacy programme participants’ learning outcomes (RAMAA), a project launched at the initiative of the UIL, also afforded an opportunity for the new Director of the UIL, Mr. Arne Carlsen, to meet the country teams, find out about the project and the progress made so far, and take the steps necessary for its success
