| Summary: | Education is one of the most powerful
forces we have for creating a more peaceful and prosperous
future. Yet the children most in need of a good education
are also at greatest risk of having their learning
disrupted, whether by conflict, violence, pandemics,
climate, or other crises. This approach paper lays out the
World Bank’s policy approach for how to deliver education
services so that children are safe and learning. The first
section defines the context, dynamics, and key terms and
concepts of education in fragility, conflict, and violence
(FCV). The second section traces the evolution of the World
Bank’s strategy for delivering education services in fragile
settings. It draws on interviews with organizations working
on education in emergency situations and presents the World
Bank portfolio trends for FCV in education, dating back to
2005. The third section presents operational
recommendations, drawing on interviews with World Bank task
team leaders, managers, and country directors, as well as
key partners. As such, this paper is not a systematic review
of what works in FCV situations. Rather, it presents guiding
principles, policy options, and operational recommendations
for how the education sector can help deliver on the Bank
Group’s FCV Strategy. |
