INEE Minimum Standards Toolkit
The Minimum Standards Toolkit contains the INEE Minimum Standards handbook, training and promotional materials, including all translations, as well as clear, practical tools and resources to help field staff and Ministry of Education officials implement the standards.
The toolkit will help users of the INEE Minimum Standards adapt the indicators to their local setting and contextualise the guidance notes, good practices and lessons learned that are codified within the handbook in order to realize the standards. There are also a set of tools that are particularly relevant to disaster preparedness and risk reduction as well as to the cross-cutting issues of human and children’s rights, gender, HIV/AIDS and disability.
The documents in this toolkit are organised into two main categories:
Tools: includes short and practical guidelines, checklists, and good practices linked to specific standards. Many of the tools need to be adapted according to each context.
Resources: provides background reading and more detailed information about a given topic, including case studies highlighting how indicators and guidance notes have been contextualized to meet a standard in a context.
The toolkit is available online here: www.ineesite.org/toolkit
Like the INEE Minimum Standards, this toolkit is meant to be a living document, which will be updated and revised based on user feedback. Please send feedback, including additional tools that should be included in a future version of this toolkit, to: minimumstandards@ineesite.org.
CD Rom copies of the Toolkit will soon be available. Please send orders for a copy of the Toolkit and accompanying INEE Minimum Standards Reference Guide, including full mailing information to the INEE Coordinator for Network Services: coordinator@ineesite.org.

INEE Minimum Standards Reference Tool
An INEE Minimum Standards Reference Tool has also been developed and will be distributed with the Toolkit. This easy to use pull-out tool is designed to be hard-wearing and field friendly for when a copy of the Handbook is not at hand. It must not be used as a stand-alone document, and reference should be made to the full version of the INEE Minimum Standards Handbook.
To order copy of this Reference Tool, please send your fell mailing information to the INEE Coordinator for Network Services: coordinator@ineesite.org.

Adoption Strategy Checklists for Organisations Using the INEE Minimum Standards
The INEE Working Group on Minimum Standards has developed checklists for donor organisations and government agencies, NGOs and UN Agencies, to assist in the institutionalization of the INEE Minimum Standards. It has also developed a checklist for inter-agency coordination within an education cluster/sector planning and response. These checklists articulate a variety of suggested actions that organizations can utilize when applying the standards internally and in bi- and multi-lateral work:
- Checklist for NGOs / En Français
- Checklist for UN Agencies / En Français
- Checklist for Donor Organisations and Governments / En Français
- Checklist for Interagency Coordination within an Education Cluster
Training and Capacity Building Materials
The INEE Minimum Standards Training Materials consist of a Training Guide, Workbooks for Participants and a series of PowerPoint presentations. A number of Training Support Documents and Adaptations have also been developed to ensure that the Trainings are relevant for a variety of contexts. Please visit the INEE Minimum Standards Training and Capacity Building section of the website here.
National/Regional Focal Points on INEE Minimum Standards
As the community of users of the INEE Minimum Standards continues to grow around the world, the INEE Working Group on Minimum Standards recognizes the need to further support the dissemination of this experience and knowledge about the implementation of the standards. The INEE Working Group is therefore encouraging graduates of Training of Trainers and Capacity-Building Workshops to take a leadership role as national and/or regional Focal Points on the INEE Minimum Standards. Focal Points are the point of contact for those who seek to put the INEE Minimum Standards into practice and are responsible for coordinating and stimulating national and/or regional intiatives on the INEE Minimum Standards.
A Focal Point is a voluntary activity, based on self-selection and with institutional support. Being a national and/or regional Focal Point on the INEE Minimum Standards might not require a great deal of time or work, but it does require a genuine interest in and commitment to INEE's principles of open collaboration, the value of the Minimum Standards and their wider and better application. Click here for a more detailed description of what a national and/or regional Focal Point is, what support can be expected from the INEE Secretariat, and the form you need to fill out and send back to the INEE Secretariat.
Translations and Searchable Version of the INEE Minimum Standards
The INEE secretariat, members and partner organisations have translated the INEE Minimum Standards and Training Materials into several languages, with more planned.
In addition, you can now navigate, read and search the INEE Minimum Standards Handbook in English online here.
