The Alliance-INEE Roundtable 2018 Report

The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (Alliance) and the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) are committed to supporting practitioners in improving the quality of collaborative programming between the two sectors.

The Roundtable in Nairobi, Kenya (15-16 October 2018) was a starting point that we hope will lead to the development of a practical, yet ambitious framework for collaboration across the two sectors. 250 practitioners, researchers, donors and policy makers from all around the world joined the Roundtable to discuss obstacles and opportunities for collaboration. We were heartened to see that the idea of strengthening collaboration resonated well with actors at different levels. We were particularly excited about the emerging consensus that both sectors are working for the same ultimate outcome of child well-being and healthy development. With this report, we hope to continue the conversation around integrated programming between Education in Emergencies and Child Protection in Humanitarian Contexts and move this agenda forward towards a better future for children and youth affected by humanitarian crises.
