Education in Emergencies in Education Sector Planning: The Case of Nepal
Abstract:
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.
