In this paper, ANCEFA, Pamoja West Africa, the African Platform for Adult Education, Oxfam International and ActionAid highlight the scale and impact of the literacy gap in West Africa, the region with the lowest literacy rates in the world, and make recommendations for action.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a synthesis of the emerging literature in the field of education and fragility. We examine the various attempts to capture the contexts of fragility in a pragmatic manner, from both an operational and a policy-making perspective.

This paper is a part of a wider research project on education in fragile contexts being undertaken under the auspices of the Inter-Agency Network on Education in Emergencies (INEE). It asks how education can be delivered effectively in Afghanistan and how it contributes to, or mitigates, fragility.

The review examines the post-war period in particular, from the signing of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in 1995 through to the present day. For the purposes of this review, ‘fragility’ is understood as referring to the multiple transitions the BiH State and society are currently undergoing, and the many challenges inherent in these transitions.

The analytic framework can be used to examine the linkages and intersections between different conditions of fragility and education components and processes.

This research examines the changing nature of donors' engagement in supporting education in fragile and conflict-affected states.

This paper examines the potential significance of investing in female education in the fragile and frequently violent context of post-invasion Afghanistan. Recent and chronic challenges to female education are examined through the lens of transitional priorities.

The event was organized by the INEE Working Group on Education and Fragility, which was established in early 2008 as an interagency mechanism to coordinate diverse initiatives and catalyze collaborative action on education and fragility.

Desde o ano 2000, quando a comunidade internacional fez suas promessas em Dacar, foram registrados progressos significativos em direção a alguns dos objetivos de EPT. Alguns dos países mais pobres do mundo demonstraram que liderança política e políticas práticas fazem diferença. Entretanto, se forem mantidas as mesmas práticas, não será possível alcançar os objetivos de Dacar.

Des progrès remarquables ont été accomplis vers la réalisation de certains des objectifs de l’EPT depuis que la communauté internationale a pris ses engagements à Dakar en 2000. Certains des pays les plus pauvres du monde ont démontré que le leadership politique et les politiques pratiques font la différence.
