Final Evaluation of Education in Emergencies
Duration:November 2018 to December 2018.
Description of Project:Development Solutions team conducted the Joint Assessment on Education in Emergencies. This project was initiated due to the observation that children are affected by emergencies in very unique ways, and their ability to cope is frequently overestimated. All children are particularly vulnerable to a range of risks like separation from family, recruitment into armed forces, sexual exploitation and gender-based violence, physical harm and psychosocial distress. In the education context, emergencies impact the learning environment in various ways, ranging from disruption to normal education systems all the way to prolonged disruption to learning. This was the first assessment on the state of education in emergencies (EiE) which will then lead to the proper coordination of disaster preparedness in schools.
