Strengthening the education in emergencies data architecture

CEID welcomes Sébastien Hine to present in the Education in Conflict and Emergencies Seminar Series.

This seminar has two parts. The first part looks at the findings and recommendations of the 2019 Education in Emergencies Data Summit.

This convened experts from 48 organisations to discuss and agree on ways forward to deal with the following challenge: how – with limited resources and a growing number of crises, which are increasingly cross-border – we as a sector could firstly collect more meaningful education data in emergencies. Also, how we could also make new and existing data more accessible.

Issues analysed include:

• standardisation of indicators
• fit for purpose data
• ethics and security
• forgotten populations
• data sharing and usage
• funding
• capacity building
• indicators beyond access
• global public goods
• the humanitarian-development-stabilisation nexus
• leadership and,
• working with other sectors.

The second part of this presentation will update on progress against this Action Agenda. This includes specific work of the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies' (INEE) Standard and Practice Working Group to create a consolidated list of education in emergencies indicators with technical guidance that reflects each of the INEE’s Minimum Standards.
