Mind the Gap 2: Seeking Safe and Sustainable Solutions for Girls’ Education in Crises

This report summarizes progress, gaps, challenges and opportunities in improving education and training for girls and women affected by conflict and crisis. This report monitors progress since the first Mind the Gap report and highlights the following thematic areas: distance education and the digital divide, school-related gender-based violence, and girls’ education during climate crisis. 

The report aims to support the Charlevoix Declaration on Quality Education’s commitment to enhance the evidence base and monitor progress toward gender-equitable education in crises. The report draws from data on 44 crisis-affected countries, from recent research, and from a set of case studies of interventions in a range of crisis-affected contexts.  

For a summary of overall findings and recommended actions for implementers, policymakers, and donors, please refer to the accompanying policy paper: Closing the Gap 2: Delivering Safe and Sustainable Solutions for Girls’ Education in Crises.

For a summary of findings and recommended actions related to the three thematic areas, please refer to the accompanying advocacy briefs on distance education and the digital divide, school related gender-based violence, and girls’ education during climate crises.
