Nepal has seen a great deal of conflict and an increasing number of natural disasters over the
last decade. These natural disasters have also been increasing in strength. UNICEF and Save
the Children, the global co-leads of the Education Cluster, have been leading the effort for
response and preparedness for education in emergencies (EiE) for over three years. A key
element to their work has been to help the Ministry of Education (MOE) take leadership of EiE in
Nepal. While a great deal of work still needs to be done, including establishing a budget for
emergency education preparedness and response, Nepal’s MOE is now an active co-lead with
UNICEF and Save the Children in the Education Cluster and has designated EiE focal points at
the national and district levels. Further, the MOE has integrated Education in Emergencies into
their Governance and Accountability Action Plan, which is part of their annual education sector
plan ensuring continued access to education for all children in the face of natural disasters and
conflict. The process of integrating EiE into the MOE’s annual education sector plan has taken
over three years and continues.
