The Global Education Cluster supports Country Clusters to be accountable to affected populations (AAP), and as a child-focused sector, that means being accountable to children. We believe in centering children’s voices, responding to their needs, and involving them in decisions that affect their lives.
As a boy not attending school from Jamshoro, Pakistan recently told us, "I’ve seen girls achieving amazing things when they’re educated; I want that for all my friends.”
