http://uil.unesco.org/adult-education
One of the strategic goals of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) is to ensure that adult learning and education (ALE) is recognized as a crucial component of education systems and integrated into national policy frameworks and development agendas.

UNESCO’s Global Report on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE)
http://uil.unesco.org/adult-education/global-report-on-adult-learning-and-education
Published at regular intervals, UNESCO’s Global Report on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE) monitors developments on adult learning and education (ALE) in UNESCO Member States. GRALE reports are reference and advocacy documents, providing information for analysts and policy-makers, and reminding Member States of the commitment they made at the 2009 Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI) in order to assist in monitoring the implementation of the Belém Framework for Action (BFA).
Third Global Report on Adult Learning and Education – National Reports:
Based on its experiences of GRALE I and GRALE II, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) developed a simple monitoring survey for GRALE III in consultation with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report team and external partners such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Labour Organization (IL), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), as well as academic experts in the field of Adult Learning and Education. Bringing these partners together ensured that existing data sources – for instance UIS data on literacy – were drawn on to devise 75 questions covering the five areas of action outlined in the Belém Framework for Action, namely: policy; governance; financing; participation, inclusion and equity; and quality. The survey questionnaire was available online and was translated into the six UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish).
