The result of years of participatory research on education with over 1,000 participants from over 8 countries, a majority of whom came from a background of poverty or extreme poverty, this report brings a unique voice to the global debate on international development.
Neighbourhood community Network ?s focus on the Post-2015 Development Agenda refers to a process led by the United Nations (UN) that aims to help define the future global development framework that will succeed the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of eight global development targets which come to an end in 2015. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

The process of assessing the post-2015 development agenda was a unique opportunity to bring the voices of people in poverty to the forefront. This is why we launched our own participatory research project to assess the Sustainable Development. Eight of the countries in which we have an active presence were deeply involved in the project: India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Myanmar.
In each of the eight countries, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Myanmar, our teams organizes meetings with people living in poverty and extreme poverty. Also our research teams have communicating educational institutions and NGO?s associated with education these dialogues were grounded in mutual trust built over years of working together. The participants meeting and discussing development issues in weekly or monthly meetings, For the next five years, depending on the country, the participants will gain experience voicing their concerns and built collective knowledge.
The result is an analysis of the sustainable development from the perspective of those they were intended to benefit. Neighbourhood community Network?s proposed post-2015 development agenda work includes a series of research and concludes recommendations for the post-2015 development priorities. ?Even in extreme poverty, a person has ideas. If these ideas aren?t recognized, people fall even deeper into poverty.?
Neighbourhood community Network Framework for Education For all we have a chance to take these agendas further and finally ensure everyone has a chance to obtain a quality education.
Neighbourhood community Network was established in the run up to the agreement of the MDGs and has a long history of campaigning and advocacy to make sure that States deliver the right of everyone to a free, quality, public education. We consider it essential to engage with the negotiation around their replacement frameworks since they will lay the foundations of a new global education agenda, and influence the overall discourse on education globally. We believe that both must be grounded in a human rights perspective. What needs to be done has been well established in treaties, conventions, and previous declarations and frameworks; what is missing is a global political commitment to all that is implied by the right to education ? that is, a comprehensive commitment to educational access, inclusion, quality and equity and the willingness to create the conditions for success.
