Implementation Tools

As the community of users of the INEE Minimum Standards continues to grow around the world, the INEE Working Group on Minimum Standards has developed several tools to further support the utilization and institutionalization of these global standards.

Below you will find information about the following groups of tools:

• INEE Minimum Standards Toolkit
• INEE Minimum Standards Reference Tool
• INEE Toolkit Thematic Guides
• Adoption Strategy Checklists for Organisations Using the INEE Minimum Standards
• Contextualisation Case Studies

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 are 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: minimumstandards@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: network@ineesite.org.

INEE Toolkit Thematic Guides

The following Thematic Guides were designed by the INEE Secretariat to highlight the most useful resources contained within the INEE Toolkit on themes relevant to the work of INEE members. Please note that these lists are non-exhaustive and should be supplemented by the INEE Resource Database and the INEE Toolkit.

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

INEE Minimum Standards Contextualisation Case Studies

Case studies on the contextualisation of the INEE Minimum Standards have been developed which demonstrate their applicability to a range of situations along the emergency-chronic crisis-recovery-development continuum. These case studies serve as informational tools from which other users of the standards can learn and build upon. To view the full list of case studies, click here.

The INEE Secretariat engages in a continuous process of making tools available and useful for INEE members. INEE encourages you to submit resources by contacting the Coordinator for Network Services: network@ineesite.org.
