A/HRC/41/37 Partnership for Education, must not use their resources on any commercial actors, be it for core services or for commercial investors, impact investors or banks. 96. The Special Rapporteur strongly recommends that States providing international cooperation funds do not provide resources to international and regional financial institutions and investors that finance commercial providers of education or that foster the growth of private education, such as the Education Outcomes Fund. States should review the policies of institutions such as the International Development Association and the Global Partnership for Education, to ensure they are aligned with their own human rights obligations before considering providing them with funding. If alignment is not the case, States should seek policy change or developments before providing funding, or consider other forms of funding that are in line with their human rights obligations. 97. Rather than resorting to privatization to circumvent challenged public education systems that largely result from past policies, donors should consider how they can participate to sustainably rebuild the public education system, in accordance with Overarching Principle 6. 98. The Special Rapporteur urges all actors, States, donors and multilateral institutions, to collaborate actively with all components of civil society, including teaching and other education staff unions, in monitoring and designing education policies. She emphasizes that collaboration with civil society is the best means to achieve sustainable accountability and transparency in education, rather than the involvement of private commercial actors, which involves significant risks, including of corruption. Implementation of the Abidjan Principles 99. The Special Rapporteur hopes that multilateral institutions, in particular UNESCO and its agency for policy planning, the International Institute for Educational Planning, will take a leading role in spearheading the implementation of the Abidjan Principles. She calls on UNESCO to put the Abidjan Principles at the core of its communication, programming, technical assistance and training activities, and on the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to integrate them into its programmes, in particular in the implementation of its new strategy for the period 2019–2030. Regional institutions should consider how to use this tool to support the implementation of the right to education in a concrete manner. 100. Human rights bodies and courts should use the Abidjan Principles to inform their reviews, in order to undertake specific analysis and make specific recommendations on the right to education. 101. Academic institutions and researchers have a central role to play within all areas of education policy. The Abidjan Principles can form a basis for developing indicators for researchers to assess the impact of education policies. That would help to ensure that assessments such as, for instance, randomized control trials, which too often focus on a narrow set of indicators, such as a limited number of learning outcomes, take a more comprehensive and more useful perspective, and allow the realization of the right to education to be assessed in concrete ways. 19
