This paper was commissioned to support advocacy for SDG Target 4.7 in European and global policies by exploring the concept of ‘Competencies for SDG Target 4.7’. This advocacy paper draws from a desk review of existing global and regional competency frameworks at national, regional and global levels. The aim is to get a clearer understanding of these transformative competencies and how they help the implementation and assessment of Target 4.7.

This paper is divided in three sections. The first section provides background to the different world views that frame the discussion on competencies, before turning to presenting some of the competency frameworks for Target 4.7. The second section gives some examples of how these competencies are being introduced into national education policies, professional skills training and lifelong learning. The paper finishes with conclusions and policy recommendations.
