10% Target for Education in Emergencies in EU-funded Humanitarian Aid Operations
Since 2019, the EU sets a funding target to invest 10% of its initial humanitarian aid budget to education in emergencies. This investment supports children in countries affected by crises, conflicts and disasters, mainly in Africa (29% of projects) and the Middle East (25%). It offers them opportunity to access quality and safe education and minimises the impacts of crisis on the right to education and children’s learning.
