Global Education Cluster Strategy 2022-2025

The GEC 2022-2025 Strategy at a glance

The strategy is also built around three core principles, which describe the priority values that will guide the GEC in achieving its mission and underpin all of its activities:

Core Principle 1: Equitable and principled partnership

Core Principle 2: Accountability to, and inclusion of, affected people

Core Principle 3: A connected and holistic approach

This strategy’s strategic objectives (see below) outline actions to ensure these principles are implemented.

This strategy’s four strategic objectives for 2022–2025 outline the GEC’s key areas of work to ensure that Country Education Clusters at both national and sub-national levels have the required support to coordinate humanitarian responses that fulfill the right to quality education for crisis-affected children and youth. These objectives are interdependent and mutually reinforcing but are articulated separately to clarify specific areas of GEC’s work. While the GEC Team will lead actions to strengthen education coordination, the four objectives are also designed to rally the education sector to collective action. Achieving them will require ongoing and consistent support, active contribution and leadership from the Education Cluster’s partners. The GEC Partners Forum will drive collective actions toward the strategic objectives, which will be further detailed in the GEC’s results framework.

Operational partnerships are also at the core of the new strategy. Strong partnerships are the foundation for a well-coordinated, accountable and quality education in emergencies response, so the GEC embraces a collective approach, working with and through partners to achieve its aims.The GEC has broadened and deepened its operational partnerships in recent years, promoting collective action through complementarity, leveraging comparative advantage of partners and efficient use of resources.

The Strategy is available in English, French and Spanish.
