ورقة معلومات أساسية التناسق بين العمل الإنساني والتنموي في قطاع التعليم: العمل معا في سياق الأزمات Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) كما علمتنا جائحة كوفيد ١٩ (كورونا) المستمرة، انه لا يوجد بلد أو نظام تعليمي في مأمن من الأزمة الحالية؛ لذلك، فإن من الأهمية بناء انظمة مرونة والتي بدورها ستشكل مفتاح ليس فقط لتجنب الخسائر ولكن أيضًا للاستمرار والتقدم نحو أهدافنا المشتركة في قطاع التعليم. هناك حاجة ماسة إلى العمل الجماعي عبر قطاعي التنمية والإنسانية لبناء أنظمة تعليمية شاملة، وقابلة للتكيف، معدة للاستجابة للأزمات ولديها القدرة على الاستجابة لها، بحيث تتاح لكل طفل وشاب فرصة الذهاب والبقاء في الفصول الدراسية، وإكمال دورة كاملة من التعليم الابتدائي والثانوي.يعد تناسق بين العمل الإنمائي والإنساني مهمًا لضمان وصول جميع الأطفال إلى تعليم نوعي وجيد ومتواصل، مما يعزز زيادة قدرتهم على التأقلم وتطورهم الكلي. في حين أن التعليم يوفر فوائد كبيرة للأفراد والمجتمعات والدول، فإن إنشاء نظم التعليم المرنة تتطلب التخطيط على مدى سنوات وتنسيق الجهود والاستثمار في قطاع التعليم.الهدف من هذه الورقة هو إزالة الغموض عن مفهوم تناسق الإنمائي الإنساني. نجحت هذه الورقة باستخدام تعريف طرق العمل الجديدة - وهو العمل على مدى سنوات طويلة للوصول لنتائج جماعية بناءً على التمايز النسبي لمختلف الجهات الفاعلة، في تلخيص المفهوم الحاسم لتناسق الإنمائية الإنسانية، وعرض العوائق التي تحول دون الترابط في قطاع التعليم، وتقديم أمثلة توضيحية للعمل يتسم بالتناسق.تقترح الورقة مجموعة من الإجراءات والتوصيات لدعم التناسق بين العمل الإنمائي والإنساني في قطاع التعليم، إلى جانب مبادئ توجيهية للمعنيين بالتعليم للقيام بإجراءات جماعية، كما وتدعو إلى تحسين الترابط بين وكالاتهم وفي كل سياسات وبرامج قطاع التعليم. ايضاً تستهدف الورقة مجموعة واسعة من الجهات الفاعلة في المجال الإنساني والتنموي والحكومي والمجتمع المدني الذين يعملون على ضمان حق جميع الأفراد في الحصول على تعليم جيد وآمن وملائم ومنصف.تم وضع تصور لهذه الورقة من قبل فريق الايني المعني بالعمل التنموي والإنساني، وهو تعاون بين مجموعة عمل سياسة التعليم من الشبكة المشتركة لوكالات التعليم في حالات الطوارئ ومجموعة عمل لمناصرة الشبكة المشتركة لوكالات التعليم في حالات الطوارئ Background paper: Coordination between Humanitarian and Development Work in the Education Sector: Working Together in a Crisis Context Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) The education sector is charged with a responsibility to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, per Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). The current trend of complex and longer-term crises, whether caused by the climate emergency, violent conflict, or a pandemic, threatens progress toward SDG4 targets. As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has taught us, no country or education system is immune from crisis; therefore, building resilience is the key not only to avoiding losses but to sustaining and progressing toward our shared goals in the education sector. Collective action is needed across the humanitarian-development spectrum to build inclusive and adaptable education systems that are prepared for and have the capacity to respond to crises, so that every child and young person has a chance to go to school, stay in school, and complete a full cycle of primary and secondary education.This report is aimed at members of the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), which includes a broad range of humanitarian, development, government, and civil society actors who are working to ensure that all individuals have the right to a quality, safe, relevant, and equitable education. The purpose of the report is to demystify the concept of humanitarian-development coherence and to propose a set of actions and recommendations to strengthen such coherence in the education sector. The report also provides guidelines for INEE members and education stakeholders to take collective action, and to advocate for improved coherence within their own agencies and across the education sector’s full spectrum of policy and programming.This report recapitulates the concept of humanitarian-development coherence and why it is critical, provides an overview of barriers to coherence in the education sector, identifies illustrative examples of coherent action, and offers concrete recommendations for improved coherence, as summed up through a “Learn-Convene-Adapt” framework.To explain the concept of humanitarian-development coherence, this paper adopts the New Ways of Working definition, which describes humanitarian-development coherence as working over multiple years toward collective outcomes, based on the comparative advantage of a diverse range of actors (see definitions, p. 6). The paper argues that humanitarian-development coherence is critical to ensuring that all children have access to uninterrupted quality education, which promotes their increased resilience and overall development. While education can provide significant benefits for individuals, communities, and countries, establishing resilient education systems requires multi-year planning, coordination, and investment in the education sector.To unpack the bottlenecks to coherence in education, the paper uses the conceptual framework proposed in the USAID white paper, Education and Humanitarian-Development Coherence (Nicolai et al., 2019). This framework outlines three levels of action that influence conditions for coherence: Norms, Capacities, and Operations. The barriers identified and explored in the paper are the following:

Achieving SDG4 for Children and Youth Affected by Crisis Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) With the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), the global community committed to ensuring a quality education for all children and youth. Despite this promise, children and youth in crisis contexts continue to be neglected. We will never achieve SDG4 unless all children and youth affected by conflict and crisis are able to access and attend school and learn in a quality, safe, relevant and inclusive education environment. There is an urgent need for governments and the international community to make and adhere to political, financial and legal commitments if we truly are to leave no child behind. This brief offers recommendations for addressing the disparities in safe, quality, inclusive education for children affected by crisis. It begins by highlighting key areas for policy and practice, and looks at ways to use the various tools developed by the Inter-agency Network of Education in Emergencies (INEE). It takes a look at overall themes and trends, as well as the specific issues of gender disparities, the importance of supporting teachers, children’s psycho-social wellbeing and the protection and safety of education in conflict. 
INEE Guidance Note on Gender: Equality in and Through Education Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) With the launch of the Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs) in 2015, the international community committed to providing inclusive and equitable quality education for all (SDG4) as well as achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls (SDG5). The Global Goals also emphasize the need to “leave no one behind” by focusing on those furthest behind first, such as those affected by crisis. In line with this, the Education 2030 Framework for Action stresses the importance of providing education in “safe, supportive and secure learning environments free from violence” and recommends a stronger, better coordinated response to ensure the protective space of education is maintained during crises and subsequent recovery efforts.In response to these global commitments, the INEE Guidance Note on Gender provides strategies to ensure that girls, boys, women, and men in contexts of conflict and crisis equally enjoy the protection and learning outcomes that quality education can provide. It also outlines principles for gender-responsive programming, in alignment with the INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies. The Guidance Note on Gender shows how attention to gender dynamics and social constraints will result in better education for all crisis-affected populations and help build inclusive, equitable education systems for the future. This guidance note also responds to recent developments in the humanitarian context, including the historic commitment made by G7 partners to quality education for girls in crisis situations. The ensuing Charlevoix Declaration on Quality Education for Girls, Adolescent Girls, and Women in Developing Countries recognizes that quality education can contribute to peace and stability as well as positive health and life outcomes for all. It is critical that the development community now harnesses this global momentum by working together to break the particular barriers that prevent too many girls and boys in situations of crisis and conflict from accessing the education they need. It is our hope that this Guidance Note on Gender will help better equip those at the frontlines of this work to do just that.
