Project Objectives
1
To identify the educational gaps, challenges and priorities of the KIX LAC countries, in order to establish the political and research agenda that frames the topics for which evidence needs to be mobilized, and therefore the focus of the activities of the KIX LAC hub.
2
To synthesize and mobilize knowledge that results from the creation and consolidation of regional public goods, through the generation of effective spaces for exchange and learning between and within countries, to respond to the priorities of the KIX LAC countries in the educational sector.
3
To support regional/national needs and priorities through the implementation of short-term projects and capacity-building activities, which provide specific responses or alternatives to address research or knowledge gaps, to inform national decision-making in the development of educational policies or programs.
4
To strengthen the regional network and spaces for productive dialogue, aimed at key actors and institutions.
