UNESCO Health and Education Resource Centre

UNESCO supports national education sectors in developing effective policies and programmes to promote better health and well-being for all children and young people. The UNESCO Health and Education Resource Centre (HERC) is a core component of UNESCO’s role in generating and communicating knowledge in order to influence policy, practice and government and donor funding priorities. Through a comprehensive resource library and information exchange service we provide support to ministries of education, development agencies, civil society, researchers and other education partners, to develop effective policies and programmes to promote better health and well-being for all children and young people.
