Contexte Worldwide, more than 100 million young people (aged 15 to 24) still cannot read while 264 million children are out of school. The Asia region hosts half of the world out of school youth and would need to hire 15 million teachers to reach the 2030 education goals. The voice of civil society organizations is instrumental for enhancing national ownership and capacity for inclusive quality education for all and for advocating in regional and global policy fora for the right to education and the implementation of the Education Goal 4 of the Agenda 2030. 
Objectifs More inclusive and equitable quality basic education is provided thanks to strengthened civil society organizations in the Asia region and at global level.
