An Introduction to education coordination systems

This course is an introduction to education coordination and addresses the roles and functions of the different education coordination systems - each with a specific focus and set of mechanisms - which complement each other to address education needs in crisis contexts.

Due to the wide variety of organisations, expertise, and relationships involved in any large emergency response, confusion and duplication of efforts can cause real problems, and weaken response efforts. Coordination is the act of enabling all these actors to work together in an organised way to achieve shared goals. ISEEC promotes a joined-up approach to coordination efforts.
