INEE Working Group on Education and Fragility
An inter-agency mechanism (26 organizations) to coordinate diverse initiatives and catalyze collaborative action on education and fragility. Through:
- Dialogue on the role of education in State and Peace building
- The promotion of conflict-sensitive education
Fragile contexts
Characteristics of
contexts affected by fragility
• Institutional instability• Poor governance• Prone to violent conflict
– organized violence • Pockets of exclusion
Fragile contexts
What is the challenge?
• Of 61 million children worldwide out of primary school, 28 million live in conflict-affected fragile states (UNESCO, EFA Global Monitoring Report 2012)
• Children in these contexts are nearly 3 times as likely to be out of primary school than in other low income countries.
• Child mortality rates in fragile contexts are twice as high as in other developing countries.

Education and Fragility
What is important is…
Not only examining service delivery but also:
Access to education,
relevance of curriculum,
management of systems,
quality of education and
equity in delivery
Why consider conflict issues into education policies and programs?
• Technical solutions are not sufficient to address the challenges found in CAF contexts;
• Lack of attention to conflict can lead to negative impacts of education in the particular context and other sectors.
• Education programmes should minimize negative impacts and maximize positive ones – Education should be conflict-sensitive
INEE TOOLS
INEE’s Working Group on Education and Fragility has developed two tools on conflict-sensitive education:
• Diagnostic tool for conflict-sensitive education design, planning and programming
• Guiding Principles for donors on integrating conflict-sensitivity in education policy and programming
