Through: - Dialogue on the role of education in State and Peace building - The promotion of conflictsensitive education Fragile contexts Fragile contexts Characteristics of contexts affected by fragility • Institutional instability • Poor governance • Prone to violent conflict – organized violence • Pockets of exclusion What is the challenge? • Of 61 million children worldwide out of primary school, 28 million live in conflict-affected fragile states (UNESCO, EFA Global Monitoring Report 2012) • Children in these contexts are nearly 3 times as likely to be out of primary school than in other low income countries. • Child mortality rates in fragile contexts are twice as high as in other developing countries. Education and Fragility Challenges delivery of education services within fragile situations . . . AND . . . Governance Social Security EDUCATION Economic Source: Kerstin Tebbe - INEE Environmental The myriad of complex ways in which delivery of education may exacerbate or mitigate existing conditions of fragility and violent conflict What is important is… Not only examining service delivery but also: Access to education, relevance of curriculum, management of systems, quality of education and equity in delivery Why consider conflict issues into education policies and programs? • Technical solutions are not sufficient to address the challenges found in CAF contexts; • Lack of attention to conflict can lead to negative impacts of education in the particular context and other sectors. • Education programmes should minimize negative impacts and maximize positive ones – Education should be conflictsensitive INEE TOOLS INEE’s Working Group on Education and Fragility has developed two tools on conflictsensitive education: • Diagnostic tool for conflict-sensitive education design, planning and programming • Guiding Principles for donors on integrating conflict-sensitivity in education policy and programming Diagnostic Tool for Conflict-Sensitive Education Programming Interested in piloting the Diagnostic Tool?
