Introducing! New INEE Country Focal Points, 2025-2027
We are excited to introduce the 2025 INEE Country Focal Points!
CFPs are key reference people at country level who support networking, communication, and information exchange among INEE members. The new INEE CFPs have a wide range of backgrounds and areas of expertise, and have demonstrated a commitment to education in emergencies work, and to promoting INEE’s values, priorities, and initiatives. The CFPs represent the geographic and linguistic diversity of the broader INEE network.
From among nearly 70 applicants, 10 INEE members representing Yemen, Jordan, Tanzania, Kenya, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and Spain have been selected as INEE Country Focal Points (CFP) for the period of March 2025 - February 2027.

*********************************************
Continuation of staggered CFP cohorts going forward
To ensure a smooth transition for newer CFPs and sharing of knowledge and experience among CFPs, CFPs from the 2024-2026 cohort will continue serving in their roles through February 2026. In the last quarter of each year, including in late 2025, the CFP selection process will open again for a new two-year cohort (e.g. 2026-2028), thus ensuring a continued overlap of experienced and new CFPs.
Ways to engage with INEE CFPs
We encourage you to contact the CFP in your country, if relevant, to:
- Submit questions you may have on ways to engage as an INEE member.
- Share country and regional-level EiE resources, tools, events, and other information, so it can be disseminated both in country and to the broader network.
- Suggest ideas for thematic, country, regional, and/or audience-specific webinars or discussions you would like INEE to organize. (Be ready to volunteer!)
- Send thoughts and ideas for how the INEE Country Focal Point could engage with existing INEE members and recruit new members at the country level.
- Invite your CFP to present about INEE and participate in EiE-focused meetings or events in your country.
*If there isn’t yet an INEE Country Focal Point in your country, we encourage you to reach out to CFPs operating in your language and/or region.
Please join us in welcoming this new cohort of CFPs! And don't hesitate to contact [email protected] with any queries or suggestions you may have related to INEE member engagement.
