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
Characteristics of contexts affected by fragility • Institutional instability • Poor governance • Prone to violent conflict – organized violence • Pockets of exclusion
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.

Not only examining service delivery but also: • Accessto education, • relevance of curriculum, • management of systems, • qualityof education and • equity in delivery
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’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
