This working paper outlines the aims, process, and outcomes of an evidence review, conducted over five months, from April to August 2022, to map the evidence landscape and identify key gaps across Jordan’s education system, particularly those related to services provided to and affected by the influx of Syrian refugee students.

This review sets out to (i) identify and synthesise the evidence base of education programmes in conflict-affected areas of Nigeria in order to generate a rigorous understanding of the circumstances under which education is delivered; and (ii) identify evidence gaps concerning access, quality and continuity of education, and the interventions that aim to improve education outcomes.

Access to high-quality and continuous education is a fundamental right for all children, including those affected by conflict and protracted crises. Yet despite ongoing efforts, significant barriers to access, quality and continuity of education remain. In this paper, we project to carry out a systematic review of evidence about the state of education in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, where education delivery to conflict-affected Rohingya communities remains particularly challenging.

Informed by the ERICC Conceptual Framework and consultations with local stakeholders, our research agenda tackles the problem by developing a series of studies on three key aspects of education in Cox’s Bazar: ongoing responses to the recently introduced Myanmar curriculum, the current role of madrasas and their potential as partners for education interventions, and an analysis on continuing education for girls and older adolescents.

The research agenda presented here highlights ERICC’s co-constructed national research priorities within Jordan, the rationale and factors that inform these priorities, and research plans to enact the agenda moving forward.

The Nigeria research agenda outlines the research direction based on the co-construction of evidence and sets out the co-creative principles for implementing the research agenda. The research themes that constitute the Nigeria research agenda were identified through consultations with key in-country stakeholders at the Federal level and in Borno, Adamawa, and Kaduna States.

This webinar presented findings from the PlayMatters project from its one-year multisectoral Emergency Response Mechanism in conflict-affected Ethiopia.

This second report of the project explores how a culture of research engagement can be created and nurtured. It brings together leading experts who provide insights into cutting-edge research in the field and international experience gathered from both education policy and practice. In addition, the report provides further analyses of data collected from over 30 systems through an OECD policy survey.
