The World Declaration on Education for All was a global commitment that has been taken seriously by governments of the Asia-Pacific region. There is perhaps no need to reiterate the fact that the primary responsibility for achievement of EFA goals rests upon the national governments, and that the governments are the main actors to implement the post-Jomtien follow-up actions. The multilateral agencies have, however, played a pivotal role in assisting the governments and other national level organizations in their implementation of the actions to pursue EFA goals. The present report provides a summary of activities, achievements and future challenges of eleven multilateral agencies, namely, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), World Health Organization (WHO), Asian Development Bank (ADB) and World Bank (WB). Each summary report was developed by the respective agency for submission to the Asia- Pacific Conference on EFA 2000 Assessment, 17-20 January 2000, Bangkok, Thailand.
