Education in Africa, as in other regions and countries, emerges and changes in a network of national and international actors, developments, relationships and dependencies in which power and resources are at stake according to the different principles of state, market and civil society. National state actors (such as ministries of education), intergovernmental organizations, especially from the UN system (such as UNESCO, theWorld Bank and UNICEF) and - according to the thesis - African civil society actors also play their part in shaping education in and for Africa, although these have received little attention in previous research. The article addresses this gap and outlines how universal children's rights and the right to education are dealt with in an African civil society organization (CSO). To this end, ENDA (Environnement - Developpement - Action, with the suffix TM for Tiers Monde) is portrayed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Education is one of the defining features of human civilization. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4 evangelizes inclusive and equitable access to quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities without recourse to gender. Nigeria has made giant strides in bridging the gender gap associated with access to education. However, gender disparity in access to education remains a perennial problem, given that females encounter barriers ranging from cultural stereotypes, harmful religious sentiments, systemic impediments, a lack of political will and other complex socio-economic challenges. This paper sketches the education system, illuminates the socio-economic and infrastructural challenges to education on a broader level and analyzes the perennial and contemporary challenges to female education in Nigeria. It outlines potential trajectories and opportunities for a robust multistakeholder partnership framework anchored on shared interest to bridge the gender divide in educational access and advance female education in Nigeria.

There is no exception to be made for the community-based adult education centers (Volkshochschulen), their regional associations and their joint national association (GERMAN ADULT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, DVV): their real relevance to the development of society is determined by their contribution to adult education and the common good. Work at the basic level, in the many institutions, gives importance to the regional and national associations, empowering them, in turn, to support the Volkshochschulen, to coordinate their cooperation, and to stimulate fundamental innovations. This article, therefore, starts with describing the work of the local institutions, and only afterwards turns to considering the tasks and functions of the regional and national associations.
