Global Trends for Education to Support Stability and Resilience

Developments in the area of education and fragility have accelerated rapidly over the last few years as the concept of fragility has developed and impacted on broader trends in global humanitarian and development agendas. A range of agencies including UN agencies, NGOs, research institutions, multilateral and bilateral donors, are increasing attention on improved education responses in situations of fragility. Initiatives and activities are focused on ensuring quality and accessible education in fragile contexts that also supports broader contributions to state-building, peacebuilding and stability. Trends in research, programming and financing relate back to the need to ensure quality and access in education provision in fragile contexts and the idea that education has a role in mitigating fragility.
