The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) supported three education in emergencies (EiE) interventions in Borno and Yobe between 2017 and 2021. Two of the programmes were fully funded by FCDO – one implemented by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and another implemented by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). FCDO also provided top-up funds for one of the components of the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Addressing Education in Northeast Nigeria (AENN) programme. This support has been provided under two portfolios: The North-East Nigeria Transition to Development Programme (NENTAD) during an initial stage and then through the first phase of the Partnership for Learning for All in Nigeria (PLANE).
This report was commissioned by FCDO to synthesise the results and lessons learned from these three EiE programmes to share achievements and recommendations with the wider EiE community informing adaptations to ongoing programmes and future programming, as well as to inform FCDO and UNICEF decisions on the implementation of the current phase of PLANE.
