What can be expected from the INEE Secretariat?

The Secretariat works closely with the Steering Group, the Working Group on Minimum Standards, Working Group on Education and Fragility, the Task Teams and Language Communities in order to ensure the right to education in emergencies, chronic crises and early reconstruction. The INEE Secretariat staff consists of four individuals, one of whom is based at The International Rescue Committee, New York, one at UNICEF in New York, one in UNESCO in Paris and one at UNHCR in Geneva. Through its work, the INEE Secretariat strives to improve communication and coordination in the field of education in emergencies by cultivating and facilitating constructive and collaborative relationships between its members and strategic partners. Through these linkages, the Secretariat staff engages in the following activities:

Education and Fragility: the INEE Secretariat supports the INEE Working Group on Education and Fragility, which works to coordinate diverse advocacy, research and policy initiatives and catalyse collaborative action on education and fragility.

Knowledge Generation and Capacity Building Opportunities for Members: the INEE Secretariat coordinates capacity building opportunities through INEE’s Task Teams, which are formed by INEE members who work together on a particular task and/or to further the dialogue around a particular topic such as gender, adolescents and youth, HIV/AIDS, early childhood development, inclusive education. The Secretariat also facilitates opportunities for networking through INEE Language Communities (Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and INEE-sponsored events (e.g. INEE Global Consultations) and disseminates partner organizations’ job announcements through the INEE listserv and on the website.
