Basic information

• Host or sponsor: Peer group
• Type: Self-Assessment
• Year established: 2004
• Status: Active
• Thematic area: Education, Humanitarian / emergency relief
• Summary: In order to develop a tool to help achieve a minimum level of educational access and quality in emergencies and early reconstruction as well as to ensure the accountability of the workers who provide these services, INEE’s Working Group on Minimum Standards facilitated a highly consultative process to develop Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction. The INEE Minimum Standards were developed with the participation of over 2,250 individuals from more than 50 countries in 2003 and 2004. They were developed by stakeholders from a variety of levels and have evolved out of emergency and early reconstruction environments around the world. As such, they are designed for use in emergency response, emergency preparedness and in humanitarian advocacy and are applicable in a wide range of situations, including natural disasters and armed conflicts.
