1. Endorsing the overall aim and objectives of the Sector and standards for the design and implementation of emergency education projects;

2. Adhering to EiEWG endorsed standards in the design and implementation of EiE programming (Framework);

3. Maintaining regular attendance at Working Group meetings at the national and sub-national level (Structure) and other relevant platforms, such as Technical Working Groups, and Strategic Advisory Groups;

4. Reporting their EiE activities on a monthly basis using the Sectors’ ReportHub2  and highlighting needs, gaps, and duplications;

5. Supporting the development of the Humanitarian Response Plan and Multi-Year Education Sector Strategy;

6. Working as a team, with government, and other Sector members to implement EiE activities, according to agreed minimum standards, including engaging with affected communities, and support to build local capacities; and

7. Participating in Sector activities, including assessing needs, developing plans, joint monitoring, and developing policies and guidelines through working groups.

Partner Experience & Capacity

The EiEWG is currently comprised of over 50 partner organizations, with 25 of which these actively reporting their implementing activities in the North East. Half of the EiEWG partners who do attend monthly meetings did not report any EiE implemented activities in 2019 due to difficulty in accessing funds. 20 of these partners’ project proposals have been approved on the project module and are part of the 2020 HRP/HRS.3 The core of the response and coordination is based in the BAY area with three education working groups in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa respectively – with Yobe and Adamawa reporting to the Borno working group as the Sector lead. All of these UN, INGOs, and NGOs have at least

3 years of experience implementing education programs, 44 per cent of them in Nigeria. In 2019, 25 EiEWG partners

reached 1,034,090 people (64 per cent) out of 1,543,614 people targeted in the 2019-2021 HRS.
