Organizational Context
The UNESCO Regional Office for the Gulf States and Yemen supports Member States and key education partners in advancing Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG
4) across the Gulf States and Yemen through technical support, policy advice, capacity development, and programme implementation. UNESCO supports Ministries of Education and relevant stakeholders in strengthening education systems, enhancing evidence-based planning and governance, improving education data systems, and promoting inclusive, equitable, and quality education.
Within this framework, UNESCO also supports countries affected by crises and emergencies through interventions related to Education in Emergencies (EiE), including support to education sector coordination, planning, monitoring, capacity-building, data systems, learning recovery, and resilience-building initiatives.
In Yemen, UNESCO works closely with the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Local Education Group (LEG), Development Partners Group (DPG), UN agencies, donors, and education stakeholders to support sector coordination, education system strengthening, evidence-based planning, and education recovery efforts. UNESCO also serves as the Coordinating Agency for the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) grants, chairs the Local Education Group (LEG) with the Ministry of Education and chairs the Development Partners Group (DPG) in Yemen, supporting sector dialogue, coordination, joint reviews, and engagement among key education stakeholders.
Within the framework of the programme “Strengthening Education System Capacity and Coordination in Yemen” funded through the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) System Capacity Grant (SCG), UNESCO is supporting interventions aimed at strengthening education system governance, sector coordination, monitoring and reporting systems, Education Management Information Systems (EMIS), and learning assessment systems.
