This edition captures stories of innovative campaigning work from India to The Gambia, from Ghana to the USA, as well as creative approaches to accountability, mobilisation and transformation in education from many more countries. Learning from a mid-term review of the Commonwealth Education Fund helps to place this work in a wider context. Details are also included of three recent publications produced by ActionAid and the Global Campaign for Education: ‘Deadly Inertia’ (on education responses to HIV/AIDS), ‘Contradicting Commitments’ (on how the IMF undermines progress on education) and ‘Writing the Wrongs’ (international benchmarks on adult literacy).
