EU to commit 8% of humanitarian assistance to education in 2018

The European Union (EU) will commit 8% of its humanitarian budget to education in crisis situations in 2018, announced EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, Christos Stylianides, during a high-level education event on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. The 2018 contribution of over €86 million will support access to formal and non-formal education, as well as access to education for girls. EU support for education in emergencies has accelerated rapidly in recent years, from 1% of its humanitarian budget in 2015 to 6% in 2017, well above the world average of below 3%.

Education in emergency situations has gained more attention in recent years, leading to a new multilateral fund called Education Cannot Wait in 2016.

advocates for Donor Tracker

The Donor Tracker is an excellent tool for advocates everywhere to understand ODA budget processes in other countries and who the key players are in development policy.

Dr Christoph Benn, Director of External Relations at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Geneva

There is a lot of data available out there on official development assistance – but there is not a lot of in-depth analysis to help people understand the political and practical contexts in which donors make their ODA funding decisions. The Donor Tracker pulls this all together.

Ann Starrs, President and CEO of the Guttmacher Institute in New York

To advance the global health agenda, it is important to understand how donors think: What is important to them, what do they fund? Which political factors influence their preferences? The Donor Tracker responds to these questions for every major donor. It’s incredibly useful.

Dean Jamison, Professor of Global Health at the University of California in San Francisco

The Donor Tracker provides advocates working in global development with information that is critical for their work: It explains how political decisions are taken, what kind of strategic priorities donors have and helps them to identify key advocacy opportunities during the political year.

Joe Cerrell, Managing Director, Global Policy and Advocacy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
