groups Quality – Teacher Training; Psychosocial Support Governance – putting relevant clusters in EiEinterventions(school

community)

• 24 country offices are part of the education cluster in some capacity

DRR and EiE inter phase• DRR in EiE is a systematic attempt to analyse and reduce disaster

risks and vulnerabilities.• Synergy between both of these is to enable the education system to

provide, and learners to continue, and out-of-school children to access, quality education during and after emergencies.

• Disaster risk reduction helps to minimise underlying factors of vulnerability, prevent disasters and improving disaster preparedness.

• DRR is the combination of actions, processes and attitudes to achieve resilience.

• DRR measures for EiE can be grouped into three areas - – prevention of disasters– mitigation of impact of hazards– preparedness for hazard risks.
