ECW - Education Cannot Wait
The programme aims to improve access and continuation of education of crises affected children and youth from the onset of an emergency and during protracted crises. With its nexus approach, the ECW ensures the bridge between humanitarian and development objectives through flexible funding mechanisms from early response to longer-term resilience by supporting community-based education, innovative approaches to improve the quality of learning, and by creating safer learning environments.

Contexto | The number of children enrolled in schools has increased by almost nine times since 2001, from 0.9 million (almost none of them girls) to 9.2 million with 39% of them being girls. Nevertheless, enrolment and attendance rates remain low. An estimated 3.7 million children remain out of school, of which 60% are girls. Many provinces have very low female student attendance, with ranges as low as 14%. Around half of the schools still lack physical buildings and a large number of schools with buildings lack essential infrastructure components, such as boundary walls, sanitation facilities, libraries, and laboratories. Natural disasters, early marriages, poverty, cultural sensitivities, effects of conflict, economic hardship and displacement often force parents to take their children out of school. Insecurity in both rural and urban areas particularly affects girl’s attendance. The National Education Strategic Plan (NESP) III of the Ministry of Education specifies that there is still much to do concerning gender equity, girl’s education and improving access, effectiveness and efficiency. In general, the Afghan context demands a close collaboration and join initiatives from development and humanitarian actors, in order to improve access and continuation of education. |
