Compendium of Advocacy Resources for Education in Emergencies

The purpose of the compendium is to provide Education Cluster coordination staff and partners with the most relevant and up-to-date global resources that can be used for country level advocacy for education in emergencies, in an easy-to-use format. This compendium provides five categories of global resources for advocacy: 1. Guidance on the ‘what and how’ of advocacy: advocacy ‘technical’ resources, providing guidelines for cluster staff and partners on how to develop and manage advocacy work. 2. “Soft” resources: tools such as briefs, brochures, posters and videos from different sources. 3. Evidence from research on education in emergencies: evidence-based resources that can be used to bolster arguments. Topics within this category are: prioritization of education by affected populations; long-term impacts of education in emergencies; data/evidence on funding for education in emergencies. As some of the documents in this section show evidence on more than one topic, a table at the beginning of the section indicates the topics that each document covers. 4. Quotes on education in emergencies: quotes from high-profile advocates and champions, such as Nelson Mandela, Ban Ki-Moon or Malala Yousafzai, and from the affected population, such as a young Pakistani girl in the “A World At School” video. Quotes can be used to help influence advocacy target audiences. 5. General education: documents and videos that are not specific to education in emergencies, but show how education (in general) transforms the lives of children and of girls, and contributes to sustainable development.
