The Sphere Project recommends that the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction be used as companion and complementing standards to the Sphere Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response.
The INEE Minimum Standards are both a handbook and an expression of commitment that all individuals – children, youth and adults – have a right to education during emergencies. They echo the core beliefs of the Sphere Project: that all possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of calamity and conflict, and that people affected by disaster have a right to life with dignity. Education in emergencies is a necessity that can be both life-sustaining and life-saving, providing physical, psychosocial and cognitive protection. For an effective education response that addresses children’s holistic needs, coordination and close collaboration between education and other sectors is essential - particularly Water and Sanitation, Shelter, Camp management, Health and Hygiene, Protection, Food aid and Nutrition. An inter-sectoral approach to education is even more vital in emergency contexts than in normal situations. Education in safe spaces provided for children in an emergency context, offers a means of providing a sense of normalcy, psychosocial support, and protection against harm, as well as a place for delivery of other vital services.
The use of the INEE Minimum Standards as a companion to the Sphere Handbook will help to ensure that these crucial linkages are made at the outset of an emergency - through multi-sectoral needs assessments, followed by joint planning and holistic response. Used together, the Sphere Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response and the INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction will improve the quality of assistance provided to people affected by crisis, and enhance the accountability of disaster preparedness and response.
