Resuming previous international and regional commitments, in January 2024 the Declaration of Santiago was approved at the Extraordinary Meeting of Ministers of Education of Latin America and the Caribbean (UNESCO Santiago, 2024). In this, the SDG4 Regional Steering Committee was tasked with establishing an ad-hoc Working Group to develop a preliminary proposal on inclusive and effective financing to complement the Regional Reference Framework on public policies for educational reactivation, recovery and transformation. This Working Group is made up of ECLAC, UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank, IDB, CAF, CLADE and IIEP UNESCO. This document is part of the work carried out by this group and has a double objective: to serve as an input to build a bridge of dialogue between the ministries of education and the ministries of finance of the different countries of the region; and to promote that educational financing does not regress, proposing ways to move towards equitable and efficient financial sustainability, in line with what is indicated in the fourth axis of the Framework for Educational Transformation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
