For the third report, 82 per cent of responding member States engaged at least one other government department in the compilation of the NIR: only seven member States indicated that no other government department was involved. Nearly three-quarters (71 per cent) affirmed that civil society or academic stakeholders contributed to the NIR. Private sector stakeholders were much less involved, with only nine member States indicating direct or indirect engagement with private sector interests in the preparation of the NIR. Thirty-two member States responded at least once to the annual survey of initiatives under the Phase III work plan priorities (2012: 19 countries [TVET questions only]; 2013: 22 countries; 2014: 23 countries). Case studies have been slightly condensed and edited for inclusion, and in some cases enhanced with data from the NIRs. In three cases (Finland, Germany and Hungary) only an excerpt of the study has been used to highlight lessons that are relevant to a specific ESD issue; references to other data provided in the full case studies are noted where relevant in the body of the report.
