Practical steps towards bridging the Humanitarian Development Nexus

This guidance is intended to be a practical tool for country-based Education Cluster and Working Groups to take steps, appropriate to their context, towards achieving the Humanitarian Development Nexus.

In some instances, these steps will bring the Education in Emergencies response more in line with the National Education Sector Plans (NESPs) and build a stronger collaboration with Ministries of Education (MoEs), Local Education Groups (LEGs), Development Partners (DPs) and Refugee Working Groups (RWGs). In instances where there is no recognised MoE to engage with, these steps can support stronger engagement with LEGs, DPs and other partners in the development of Transitional Education Plans (TEPs) and other interim response plans.

This guidance includes a strong focus on Preparedness and Climate Change/ Disaster Risk Reduction.
