Integrating PBEA and EiE: Networking Cards in Ethiopia

In an effort to facilitate the continuation of education among Ethiopia's pastoral populations, UNICEF’s Peacebuilding Education and Advocacy Programme (PBEA) expanded the networking cards system. Originally developed by Save the Children, these cards contain the history of the child’s education so that they may easily continue education in another ABE centre located along the migratory route. The approach was introduced in the 2014/2015 school year, during which, 6,000 networking cards were printed and distributed to children in 80 emergency prone ABE centres. To further support the initiative, 150 (20% female) School Cluster Supervisors, ABE Facilitators, and Woreda (District) Education Experts were trained on the use of the networking cards, and as a result communities have been encouraged to continue their children’s education during these migratory periods.
