Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have seen education under attack from armed conflict, displacements, climate change and recently the COVID-19 crisis, leaving 13 million out of school and exposing especially vulnerable children and girls to risks of abuse, child labour, early marriage or radicalisation.
There is vital need for the education emergency to be addressed in a consolidated response to the Sahel crises through increased financing and stronger and more holistic partnerships. The event brings together ministers, donors, NGOs and the voices of affected children and youth to highlight the education crisis and its impact on the region, present best practices, and provide concrete recommendations.
The side event is co-hosted by the Ministry of National Education, Literacy and Promotion of National Languages of Burkina Faso, Education Cannot Wait, Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack, and Save the Children.
