A world where all barriers to education are eliminated and where all African youths have access to quality basic education.

IDAY’s MISSION

To promote constructive policies and practices that will provide all youths of Africa access to a quality basic education by 2015. By basic education, IDAY understands preschool initiation, a full cycle of formal primary education and literacy training for youngsters aged between 14 and 25 in accordance with the six objectives of the Dakar framework.

OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES :
Networking – Empowerment – Advocacy

IDAY is an international network of organisations of the African and European civil societies supporting education in Africa. It seeks to empower these organisations to enhance their capacity to carry citizens’ control of government expenditures on education and engage in a constructive dialogue with the public authorities to get them to respect basic education rights. In particular, IDAY organises with all its members the International Day of the African Childhood – June 16 – to promote together the objective of basic education for all.
