CONFINTEA VI continued a series of global UNESCO meetings on adult education and learning which have been held every 12 years since 1949. The Conference closed with the adoption of the Belém Framework for Action, which records the commitments of Member States and presents a strategic guide for the global development of adult literacy and adult education within the perspective of lifelong learning. The Belém Framework furthermore includes national and international monitoring and accountability mechanisms to ensure the follow-up of commitments.
