The guidelines and toolkit aim to strengthen EiE institutional system data. More specifically, they aim to generate a diagnosis of the EiE data ecosystem at a given point in time, mainly by evaluating the opportunities for integrating humanitarian EiE data systems with development and national institutional education information systems.
This Guidance Note aims to support efforts in that direction, drawing on good practices and consolidating existing resources in a range of institutional, organizational, and individual elements to be considered when working to embed and improve production and use of EiE data for system resilience.
I am Mariam is an illustrated storybook about a young girl forced to flee her violence-torn hometown. It reflects the lives of many forcibly displaced children, as its balance of hard-hitting realities and small acts of kindness comes from consultations with conflict-affected children.
Images of the mass murder in Israel and the terror bombing of Gaza have been filling the news with extreme and grotesque images of war, despair and large-scale loss of life. This text, written as the 2023 war is ongoing, offers reflections on how to provide school-based psychosocial support for children as soon as the situation can allow schools and temporary learning centers to open in Gaza.
In recognition of these facts, NORRAG has brought together 48 authors from academia, humanitarian agencies, and think tanks to produce 27 papers that showcase current evidence and offer policy directions to prioritise and protect the work and well being of refugee teachers everywhere.
The mixed-methods study presented in the webinar, analyzed the PlayMatters Emergency Response Mechanism, an emergency response that integrated Education, Child Protection, WASH, and Health and Nutrition programming to meet the health, safety, and educational needs of conflict-affected children.
This paper delves into the narratives of refugee youth navigating secondary education in crisis contexts, by intertwining semi-structured interviews and photovoice diaries. The aim is not only to amplify the voices of young refugee students but to empower them as active agents in shaping policies that directly impact their education.
The purpose of this guidance note is to provide a framework and guidance for Save the Children’s work with play. It focuses primarily on our programmatic work with children, from babies to adolescents and provides content for advocacy work. The final section looks to spark a conversation around play and our organisational culture: the role it might have for staff engagement and development, and to support child and youth participation at the organisational and governance level.

This policy brief is intended for policymakers, national governments, mental health and education coalitions, practitioners, and advocates. It provides an overview of the findings of a global cost-benefit analysis on mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions in education settings across the Humanitarian-Development Nexus.
This CBA estimates the global economic costs of mental health conditions through the effect on school completion, and poor social and emotional wellbeing among children and adolescents aged 10–17 years affected by humanitarian emergencies. It models the economic benefits of addressing the mental health needs of children and adolescents through mental health and psychosocial support interventions.

This brief advances knowledge on the current state of inclusion of refugee learners. It is based on several separate but complementary studies carried out by UNICEF Innocenti, UNHCR, and UNESCO, and was developed to share common inter-agency findings, gaps, and learnings.
This report examines the relevance and appropriateness of SAEPs, which are currently available at the lower secondary level, and the extent to which these programmes can respond to the needs of overage learners who are likely to be in later stages of adolescence and youth, and whose socio-economic statuses pose greater challenges for accessing and continuing education.
