Primary Education in Crisis Activity in Ethiopia (PECA)
Crisis-affected children identify education as their first priority.
Surveys have revealed that children value education as much as food, water or money.[1] Despite this, 224 million children and youth living in crisis settings worldwide are currently denied a quality education.
All the while, education is essential for protecting children, youth, and communities during and after a crisis – it creates stability and enables psychosocial support and mental health for recovery.
Long-term studies show that education reduces risks and mitigates harmful impacts of crisis, especially to the most vulnerable.
This Primary Education in Crisis Activity in Ethiopia (the Activity) will meet children’s essential demand for education in Ethiopia.
The Activity’s purpose is:
Improved learning outcomes, wellbeing, and systems resilience for most vulnerable primary school age children affected by crises in Ethiopia.
Achievement of this objective is an essential ingredient for Ethiopia’s long term stability and economic growth.
This Activity will benefit from the robust partnership between USAID and The LEGO Foundation, as it will be co-funded from both organizations.
In addition to co-funding, the Activity will draw on the extensive expertise of both organizations in foundational skills and playful learning.
