What is the Role of Affordable Non-State Schools in Crisis and Conflict Contexts?
Results for Development (R4D) presented findings from a new report that explores the role of affordable non-state schools in crisis and conflict contexts. Panelists, featuring development practitioners from Results for Development (R4D), Education Development Center (EDC), and USAID, presented findings from El Salvador and Kaduna State, Nigeria, and lead a discussion on the role that governments and donors could play to support non-state education providers in crisis and conflict contexts.

"The Role of Affordable Non-State School in Contexts of Crisis and Conflict: Findings from El Salvador and Nigeria" 75M+ children are living in countries affected by conflict or other crises, nearly a quarter of which aren't attending school at all. In most of these countries, the government education system is broken or not fully functional - providing fertile ground for the proliferation of non-state schools to meet the demand for education and provide opportunities to meet the shortfall in public supply. This webcast is a review of the work USAID and R4D recently did in building onto a 2011 study with an even deeper analysis of the role of affordable non-state schools (ANSS) in such contexts of conflict, using El Salvador and Nigeria as case studies.
