Abstract

This document focuses on the challenges and innovative solutions for maintaining education continuity for displaced learners amid COVID-19 pandemic. The brief highlights two primary strategies for increasing access and inclusion in learning environments: revising curriculum materials to develop pedagogical innovations and leveraging scaled innovations like solar panels and local personnel training. The goal is to ensure that learners, especially internally displaced persons (IDP), receive quality education and psychosocial support.

Key recommendations include utilizing a systems approach to address sexual and gender-based violence, providing economic empowerment through cash transfers, and establishing anonymous reporting hotlines.

The brief concludes with actionable insights for decision-makers in African ministries, emphasizing the importance of partnerships with development and community stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of educational responses. The document underscores the significance of tailored interventions to reduce marginalization and protect vulnerable learners during crises, ensuring educational resilience and continuity.
