Cross-sector collaboration and governance in inclusive education systems
Learners’ educational opportunities and life chances can be shaped by many factors, both inside and outside the education system. As such, cross-sector collaboration at all levels – between ministries (education, social, health and others), regional- and local-level services and disciplines, including non-governmental organisations and schools – is essential to ensure all learners are given the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

Collaborative Action for Inclusive Education
The Collaborative Action for Inclusive Education (CAFIE) activity explores collaboration and cross-sector working at all system levels as a key factor in implementing inclusive education policy.

By following a peer-learning methodology, it aims to enhance countries’ learning and increase their capacity to plan for and address complex problems related to the topic.
