About the EACDIHE Conference

At the half-way mark to 2030, the world is still off-track in all of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , including Goal #4 which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”

As we race toward 2030, all East African Community member states significantly lag behind in realizing SDG #4 outcomes with only Kenya (ranked 126/193) and Tanzania (ranked 134/193) recording moderate progress while Rwanda (ranked 126/193) is stagnating.
