Enhance the right to access to education

 The recognition of qualifications enhances the right to access to education since it may give the opportunity to individuals to begin or continue studies in higher education. Holders of a qualification have the right to an assessment of their qualification. It facilitates the academic mobility, the exchange between higher education institutions, enhances the quality assurance of study programmes and the quality and reliability of qualifications, which are recognised by the competent authority of a foreign country.

Trust in quality

 Recognition of qualification represents a trust in quality. Good structures for quality assurance of education are crucial for enabling trust in a qualification. Quality Education assurance mechanisms provide a solid basis for competent authorities to recognize the qualifications awarded by foreign higher education institutions. In this sense, quality assurance provides a foundation upon which trust can be built and from which recognition is possible.

Contribute to quality of education institutions

 There is also a great number of ways in which recognition in itself can contribute to the quality of educational institutions. First, recognition is a prerequisite for mobility and internationalisation of research and studies. The circulation of researchers and students helps to spread new perspectives and ideas between education systems, and this aids in safeguarding the quality and relevance of teaching and research. Recognition is also a prerequisite for attracting international talent to higher education systems. Secondly, the establishment of structures for the recognition of qualifications and prior learning help the education institutions conceptualise what it means for a student to be ready and prepared for studies and research. Structures for recognition help to secure quality in admission of students. Thirdly, there is an inherent social commitment in recognition, enhancing the cultural and social significance of higher education systems in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4. Good recognition practice is an important factor in creating a fair and just system for qualifications.

Promoting international understanding of higher education systems

The ability and capacity of an education institution to recognize and understand qualifications and learning outcomes from other institutions and the quality assurance that supports them, reflects the institution’s ability to understand the quality and quality assurance processes of its own qualifications.

Millennium Promise - MDG Toolkit

Millennium Promise - MDG Toolkit

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are the world's shared development agenda to reduce extreme poverty, hunger and preventable disease. Efforts to achieve the Goals have yielded many successes, yet urgent action still remains if we are to achieve them by the 2015 deadline.

It is critical to understand that government leaders cannot solve global challenges on their own any more. In today's much flatter world, it is everyday people – and, critically, their personal networks – who have the potential to be the world's big new problem solvers. Post-disaster emergency responses in recent months have vividly displayed the need for coordinated best efforts from non-profits, companies, individuals, online communities, governments and the UN system. The same mindset of partnership, urgency, and "all hands on deck" is also required to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, the world's integrated targets for tackling extreme poverty by 2015.

Livestock, Environment and Development: LEAD Home

The LEAD (Livestock, Environment and Development) initiative is an inter-institutional consortium with the secretariat located within FAO. The work of the initiative targets the protection and enhancement of natural resources affected by livestock production while at the same time alleviating poverty.

The work of the LEAD initiative focuses on the close and complex interactions between government policies and the environmental impact of livestock production. Its scope is to support the formulation and implementation of effective policy frameworks, at local, national and global levels.

To this effect, LEAD conducts analysis and maintains databases to monitor and estimate the consequences of livestock sector’s growth and structural changes. It also identifies technologies to mitigate the negative effects and maximise the positive effects of different modes of production, and assesses ways to enhance their development and adoption.

From 2000 to 2007, LEAD operated as an FAO project supported by the World Bank, the European Union (EU), the Ministère des Affaires Etrangères (France), German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development via GTZ (Germany), the Department for International Development (United Kingdom), the US Agency for International Development (USA), the International Development Agency (Denmark), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (Switzerland) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
