Towards a sustainable and effective impact: Embracing stronger partnerships

The European Parliament urges the EU to place education at the centre of development cooperation

Discussing future development priorities is not enough – the time to act is now!

The European Parliament should not turn its back on international cooperation: Will it listen to the advice of its Development Committee?

Girls' Rights Gazette 2018 Issue No. 2

On the global level, and whilst education in humanitarian contexts, still remains underfunded and under prioritised, the European Commission has consistently stepped up funding to education in crises in the last few years. When I took up office at the end of 2014, education amounted to 1% of the humanitarian budget. Today 8% of our humanitarian funding (EUR 86 million for 2018) is dedicated to education in emergencies, considerably above the global average of less than 3%. By the end of this year, EU funded projects will have supported over 5.5 million girls and boys around the world.
