Learning and Development with INEE

As the world faces increasingly complex and protracted crises, the number of children and young people whose right to education is at risk continues to grow. To meet these complex needs, all practitioners and stakeholders must continue to develop their education in emergencies (EiE) knowledge and skills through prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery’. 

INEE works to strengthen and share the diverse technical skills, knowledge, and lived experience that EiE practitioners bring from across the sector. Our approach recognizes that high-quality EiE practice is built through collective learning, locally grounded expertise, and the exchange of perspectives and experiences across contexts.

INEE members work together to develop inter-agency tools and resources to support relevant learning experiences, and support EiE practitioners and stakeholders to use the INEE Minimum Standards, as well as providing diverse learning opportunities for the network. INEE also shares high quality L&D opportunities from individual organizations and initiatives, while working with network members to improve and harmonize sector-wide approaches to professional development and supporting the professionalization of the EiE workforce.

INEE collaborated with network members to develop  the Education in Emergencies Competency Framework.  Grounded in the INEE Minimum Standards, this framework provides a common set of competencies to harmonize professional development and capacity strengthening in the sector. 

INEE offers learning and development opportunities in a variety of formats such as online and virtual training opportunities, shorter orientations, workshops, and online courses, emphasizing active learner engagement and ownership

Education in Emergencies Professional Development Programme (EiE PDP)

INEE hosts the EiE PDP — a long-standing, learning and training initiative which many INEE members have contributed to and studied through over the last decade. The EiE PDP team is hosted by Save the Children, and the e-learning content is hosted on the Humanitarian Leadership Academy’s Kaya Platform. The program continues to evolve through collaboration with practitioners, trainers, organisations, and universities around the world.
