Following a global, remote training on joint needs assessments in February 2023, the Education Cluster and Child Protection Area of Responsibility in Central African Republic worked with global support to develop a joint analysis framework and collect existing secondary data.

Cette évaluation conjointe avait pour objectif d’améliorer la compréhension commune de l'impact de la crise sur les besoins en matière d’éducation et de protection de l’enfance, permettant (i) la priorisation des zones géographiques d’intervention et la (ii) production de recommandations pour des stratégies et décisions opérationnelles informées.

This report summarizes the results of a survey the Gobee team launched to better understand the experience of stakeholders in the Education in Emergencies (EiE) sector when it comes to EdTech in low-resource settings, with a special focus on digital assessments and what it takes to develop and maintain open-source models (OSS) and data protection regulations.

The aim of this annex is to explore the findings of a 2022 Joint Needs Assessment in the context of the 2023 earthquake, using secondary data to explore how the context has changed and interpret how this situation will have affected the initial findings. 

The objective of the assessment is to provide a common understanding of the impact of the crises on education and child protection needs in NW Syria, enabling the production of recommendations for informed operational strategies and decisions. 

Sudan plays a crucial role in hosting refugees in Africa, particularly in the White Nile State (WNS), which houses over 440,000 refugees, including recent arrivals from South Sudan. Despite support from UNHCR and partners, education gaps persist in WNS refugee camps due to inadequate facilities, teacher shortages, and other challenges. Before the conflict on April 15, there were 150,744 school-age children in the camps, but only 23 double-shift schools were available. An assessment of educational challenges and solutions highlighted the need for improved infrastructure, teacher-student relationships, and education quality. Collaborative efforts, adequate funding, and proactive advocacy are essential for achieving positive transformations in refugee education. The assessment also identifies best practices and community-based solutions to enhance the educational environment for refugees and the broader community in Sudan.

The objective of this joint assessment is to improve the common understanding of the impact of the crisis on education and child protection needs to enable 1) the prioritization of geographic areas of intervention, and 2) the formulation of recommendations to inform operational strategies and decisions. 

Des données solides sont essentielles pour une réponse de qualité. Le Global Education Cluster (GEC) travaille avec le domaine de responsabilité Global Child Protection et le Bureau d'assistance humanitaire de l'USAID pour renforcer les preuves sur les besoins holistiques des enfants en matière d'éducation et de protection.
