This collection of content was created by the Middle East Education Research, Training, and Support (MEERS) initiative. The MEERS program is a four-year activity that supports data collection, data analysis, research, training, and capacity building related to the most pressing education issues in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. As a partner under MEERS, FHI 360 leads the design and development of education data solutions for the crises in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, including conferences and trainings convening global stakeholders around education in emergencies (EiE) data issues and challenges.  The collection below is divided into four sections: Key Resources, Events and Presentations, Trainings, and Newsletters.
