ANCEFA

The Africa Network Campaign on Education for All (ANCEFA) emerged in 2000 following the World Education Summit in Dakar in April 2000. ANCEFA exists to promote, enable and build capacity of African civil society to advocate and campaign for access to free quality education for all. ANCEFA is not a programme implementation organisation, but a coordination, facilitation and advocacy network.

ANCEFA achieves its objectives through a range of activities including the development of consensus African civil society positions on issues, advocacy and lobbying activities, networking and partnership-building, information sharing, capacity-building support, research and documentation, and through monitoring and evaluation of the achievements of EFA targets. ANCEFA also promotes resource flows to both government and civil society organisations in Sub-saharan Africa towards the achievement of EFA targets.
