Conflict Sensitive Education (CSE)
In 2017, INEE focused on enhancing the accessibility of the CSE Pack among partners working in emergencies and protracted crises in order to increase the relevance of the Pack for users, increase involvement of government representatives in CSE training and planning, and improve sustainability of CSE Pack use and training. To accomplish this objective, INEE organized a CSE Training of Trainers (ToT) held in July 2017 in Amman, Jordan. A number of "anchor organizations" based or working in the MENA region were selected to roll out multi-agency, in-country CSE trainings within six months after the ToT. Participating organizations include:
- Arab Network for Civic Education (ANHRE), Jordan
- Finn Church Aid, Jordan / Lebanon
- UNICEF & UNESCO, Iraq
- Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Yemen
- People in Need (PIN), Syria
- Save the Children, Iraq
- World Vision International, Syria
