20． We acknowledge that child labour is a major obstacle to achieving EFA． We welcome the establishment of the Global Task Force on Child Labour and Education as a further step in enabling children to stop working and enjoy a quality education． We endorse its proposed role for advocacy, coordination and research in this field．

　　21． We recommend that civil society organisations and networks strengthen their involvement in planning, implementation, and evaluation of and advocacy in favour of achieving EFA goals within the framework of national EFA strategies, working in coordination with governments．

　　22． We request UNESCO and other EFA partners to increase support to countries in planning and monitoring, including capturing the most efficient approaches to achieve maximum results．

　　23． Finally, we resolve to use our individual and collective energies, resources and influence to implement these commitments with the urgency which the continuing challenge of EFA requires． As partners in EFA, we will intensify our action, recognising that the year 2005 represents a pivotal moment for the international community, and we pledge ourselves to the extra efforts necessary if we are to reach the 2015 EFA targets．

　　24． We recommend that funding agencies and government partners provide to UNESCO, by the end of March 2006, information on our agreed financial commitments to the achievement of the EFA goals．

　　Way forward

　　25． We ask that in its global progress review, the 2008 Education for All Global Monitoring Report should pay close attention to the performance of those countries that are currently off track in reaching the EFA and Millennium Development Goals, especially but not exclusively in relation to the gender, UPE and literacy goals; to the levels and types of aid to basic education to the countries with the deepest needs; to the policies being implemented by countries making the most rapid progress towards the 2015 goals; and to monitoring the progress of pledges made by donors．

　　26． During 2006, EFA partners will ensure visibility for the recommendations of this Communiqué at the Summit on Education and Culture of the African Union in January, the meeting of the Education Ministers of the E-9 group of high population countries in Mexico in February, the spring session of UNESCO’s Executive Board, the spring meetings of the World Bank/IMF Development Committee, and other such forums．

　　27． In view of the high profile likely to be given to EFA at the G8 Summit in Russia in June 2006, EFA partners will use the opportunity to urge G8 members to implement their commitments to increase development assistance and accelerate debt relief．

　　Next meeting

　　28． We welcome the invitation of the government of Egypt to host the next High-Level Group meeting on Education for All on 14－16 November 2006, on the theme of early childhood development and education．
