Mokoro’s most recent seminar was a great success! With 2015 around the corner, the seminar contributed to the debates regarding the post-2015 agenda, with a specific focus on education. The seminar, chaired by Chris Colclough, Emeritus Professor of Education and Development at Cambridge University, brought together leading voices on education, including Kevin Watkins, Executive Director of the Overseas Development Institute; Pauline Rose, Director of the annual Education for All Global Monitoring Report; and Alta Fölscher, Principle Consultant at Mokoro. Further details and the presentations can be downloaded here.
