Themetic: Education in Emergencies
Partner: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning UNIIEP
As part of the second E-Cubed call for proposals in 2019, Dubai Cares committed USD 846,438 to support a joint research project by Education Development Trust (EDT) and UNESCO-IIEP, with USD 431,914 allocated to UNESCO-IIEP. The project examines teacher management policies in refugee contexts in Kenya and Uganda, addressing how global frameworks like the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) and the Global Compact on Refugees can be applied to support refugee teachers.
The research will produce concrete policy options and advocacy guidance to improve refugee teacher management in line with international commitments. It also includes the development of a teacher-led film, using innovative storytelling to highlight refugee teachers’ experiences, needs, and best practices from their perspective.
