About INEE
The Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) is an open, global network of members working together within a humanitarian and development framework to ensure that all individuals have the right to a quality, safe, relevant, and equitable education.
INEE’s work is founded on the fundamental right to education.
Mission
To ensure the right to a quality, safe, and relevant education for all who live in emergency and crisis contexts through prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Guiding Principles and Values
- Education is a basic human right of all people, including those affected by crisis and instability.
- Education protects during crises and lays a sustainable foundation for recovery, peace and development.
- Education should be included in all humanitarian responses.
- Education policy and services must be actively sustained and coordinated across the humanitarian – development continuum before, during, and in recovery from crises.
- Education, like other humanitarian and development endeavors, must adhere to clear standards of quality and be accountable for results.
- Crises which destabilize education can be approached not only as urgent situations of immediate need but also as opportunities for positive change.
- Collaborative action
- Respect for diversity
- Enabling marginalized voices to be heard
- Acknowledgement of power differences, and commitment to equality
