The Inter-Agency Secretariat (IAS) is bringing together staff from United Nations and beyond—including Member States, international/regional organizations, CSOs and the private sector—to work under UNESCO’s leadership and support the HLSC in steering efforts to accelerate progress on SDG 4.
The IAS will support the HLSC to drive systematic progress against its priority areas, while maintaining the universality of SDG 4, and foster greater alignment and commitment of actors within the GCM to action, building on the high-level political engagement in the HLSC.
