Copenhagen, 2009

The FTI Partnership held its biennial meeting on April 20-21, 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The meeting focused on one overall theme, Road to 2015, to correspond with the theme of the Global Partnership for Education Annual Report 2008. In addition, there were 3 policy sub-themes that fed into the overall theme and comprised the break-out sessions. These policy sub-themes focused on translating data and knowledge into operational strategies, and were discussed in detail over the course of two days. These policy sub-themes were the following:
- Hard-to-reach children
- Learning
- Resource mobilization & aid effectiveness
These policy themes demonstrated positive results achieved and progress in these areas, as well as innovative methods currently being developed to address these issues. The focus was on how to make these issues operational at the country-level and what needed to be done (including what mechanisms needed to be put in place) to achieve the goals of reaching hard-to-reach children, improving learning, and effectively mobilizing resources and improving aid effectiveness by 2015.
