Themetic: Education in Emergencies
Partner: University of Massachusetts Boston
As part of the first E-Cubed call for proposals in 2018, Dubai Cares committed USD 461,981 to support the Promising Partnership Models for Education in Emergencies research project. This study explores the nature and impact of partnerships at both global and local levels in the context of education in emergencies, with a particular focus on education for Syrian refugees. Drawing on key informant interviews with global policy actors, network analysis, and case studies of partnerships operating in Lebanon to serve refugee populations, the research seeks to deepen understanding of how partnerships contribute to refugee education. The project has produced a set of guiding principles and partnership models designed to strengthen coordination and foster community participation in refugee education.
