Strategic Plan

INEE Strategic Plan (2011-2013)

INEE is comprised of over 5,000 individual members working in a wide range of organizations, from more than 130 countries, including national and international NGOs, UN agencies, donor agencies, government ministries and academic institutions. The INEE Strategic Plan 2011-2013 represents a collaborative shaping of the network’s future. Members, stakeholders, agencies, partners, the INEE Steering Group and Secretariat have all come together to map out the strategies and priorities for the network in the coming three years. This Plan is underpinned by INEE’s longstanding vision, mission, guiding principles and values, while it also was designed around one strategic goal and three outcomes. The goal of the Strategic Plan is:

The provision of quality, safe and relevant education for all is strengthened in crisis and crisis-prone contexts through prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.

To meet this goal, INEE, its members and partners will work together to bring about the three outcomes of the plan which have evolved out of the previous strategic plan (2008-2010), an extensive background analysis, and a series of consultative workshops, and will take forward the successes that INEE has had in the past. The three outcomes, which will be reached through implementation of the seven core initiatives, are:

Outcome 1:  Strengthened commitment, collaboration and partnerships within the INEE network

Core Initiative 1.1: Increase and deepen engagement between Steering and Working Group member agencies and country or regional stakeholders though creating and supporting Strategic Country Partnerships    

Core Initiative 1.2: Expand membership of under-represented constituencies and strengthen participation and engagement of all INEE partners and members

Core Initiative 1.3:  Strengthen collaboration of INEE members through Task Teams, Language Communities, Working Groups and other strategic initiatives

Outcome 2: Enhanced knowledge and capacity within and beyond the INEE network

Core Initiative 2.1:  Strengthen capacity and knowledge of members and stakeholders on contextualization, application and institutionalization of all INEE tools, including the INEE Minimum Standards

Core Initiative 2.2:  Expand the evidence base, and improve knowledge generation and sharing among members, stakeholders, donors and policy-makers

Outcome 3:  An enabling environment for strengthening education in crisis and crisis-prone contexts is promoted, and policy-makers and other stakeholders are influenced

Core Initiative 3.1: Increase visibility, awareness and resources for education in emergency prevention, preparedness, response and recovery

Core Initiative 3.2:  Facilitate policy development, policy dialogue and advancement on quality, safe and relevant education and thematic issues

Through the process of developing the Plan, INEE has identified five Key Strategic Directions, integrated throughout the Plan, that articulate a new phase for INEE. The first of these, a shift from primarily a response mandate to consistently addressing prevention, preparedness and recovery as well, is the most salient and reflects developments in humanitarian and development contexts. The other key strategic directions include commitment to: deeper engagement with country-level stakeholders and members; prioritizing thematic issues; emphasizing a robust evidence base; and ensuring effective resource mobilization for education in emergencies.
