The Associates for Change (AFC), the Centre for the Study of the Economies of Africa (CSEA), and the Centre d’Etudes de Recherches et de Formation pour le Développement Economique et Social (CERFODES) convened a five-day cross-country and partner meeting on Education in Emergencies (EiE) from 16th to 20th February 2026 in Accra, Ghana. The project is funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX).
The meeting provided a collaborative platform for country teams to present key findings from their foundational research, comprehensive reviews, and situational analyses under the theme: “Advancing Educational Solutions: Research for Scaling Education Innovations in Emergencies and Fragile, Conflict, and Violence-Affected Areas of Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Nigeria.”
The workshop convened key stakeholders and regional partners to facilitate in-depth discussions on the research findings and their practical implications. Participants examined how these insights can inform more responsive, context-specific, and scalable education interventions in fragile and crisis-affected settings.
The discussions also helped bridge the gap between immediate emergency education responses and the strategic planning required for the project’s second phase, strengthening regional collaboration and shared learning across the three countries.
