Profile booklet: key partners of the Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development (April 2018).

UNESCO’s Global Action Programme (GAP) was launched at the World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in November 2014 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan as a follow-up programme to the Decade of ESD (2005-2014). Five Partner Networks were established by UNESCO to drive implementation of the GAP on ESD and to serve as a global community of practice. A Partner Network exists for each of the GAP’s five Priority Action Areas, which are: 1) advancing policy; 2) transforming learning and training environments; 3) building capacities of educators and trainers; 4) empowering and mobilizing youth; 5) accelerating sustainable solutions at local level. This booklet contains profiles of the current 96 members (also called Key Partners) of the GAP Partner Networks. Each Key Partner is listed in alphabetical order within one of the five Partner Networks. Each profile presents the main objective of their work, their GAP launch commitment and specific activities that contribute to the GAP, as well as related website links and contact information for the organization’s focal point. Key Partners are chosen from all regions of the world for their extensive outreach capacity and their ability to innovate and have major impact on ESD. Key Partners are expected to create synergies and joint activities among themselves, as well as to reach out to a wider group of stakeholders beyond the Partner Networks. This booklet will facilitate and intensify synergies between the GAP activities of the Key Partners, and catalyze further action from other ESD stakeholders. It complements the GAP Information folder ( http://unesdoc. unesco.org/images/0024/002462/246270e.pdf) by offering additional details on each GAP Key Partner. The Key Partners’ profiles will also be made available on the UNESCO GAP Clearinghouse website: https://en.unesco.org/gap At the back of the booklet you will also find a list of UNESCO GAP Secretariat staff who can be contacted for assistance on relevant topics and activities.
