Women Thrive would also track and influence other policy debates on education and learning that intersect with the U.N.’s MDG process.

for learning advocacy within the post-2015 development goals
With this support, Women Thrive would continue its work with Global South organizations using a variety of advocacy tactics to shape the post-2015 development agenda so that the concepts of quality learning and gender equity in education are advanced. Women Thrive defines success as: (1) a stand-alone goal focused on equitable learning and (2) education and women’s organizations from the Global South showing improved advocacy capacity and directly influencing post-2015 education and learning proposals.
