QLE for EiE: why?

• Measuring results and impact in humanitarian crises has proven to be

challenging, e.g. due to:

• Absence of baseline data

• Fluid nature of emergencies

• Lack of tools for measuring quality in emergencies

• Lack of trained personnel looking at quality and effectiveness

• Data collected is often on output level

• Demonstrating success of EiE programming is crucial for securing more

funding and show education as life-saving and life-sustaining

• INEE MS focus on national level, and QLE complements for

school/learning space level.


QLE for EiE: expected results

Specific objective:

Increased global, national and local capacity to monitor and collect data on

the quality of learning environments.

Expected results:

1. An innovative and scalable toolkit to measure the quality of learning

environments in humanitarian settings has been developed and disseminated.

2. The full QLE for EiE package has been tested and evidenced in 3 countries.

3. QLE is widely disseminated to and vetted by key global EiE stakeholders and

a plan for further roll out is developed.
