Thank you for your leadership on global education, and for the strong support you have given thus far to Education Cannot Wait (ECW) - the United Nations-hosted global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises - since its establishment in 2016. Early next year, ECW will hold a High-level Financing Conference (HLFC) in Geneva, from February 16-17, 2023.

A new report by the UN’s global fund for education in emergencies, Education Cannot Wait (ECW), revealed that conflict, climate change, malnutrition and displacement forced 3.6 million children out of school in Ethiopia in what it says is the world’s largest education crisis. The number rose from 3.1 million to 3.6 million in just the last six months alone.

To round off 2022, our December action is calling for the UK to pledge £170 million over three years to Education Cannot Wait, the only global fund for education in emergencies. We are doing our part for their global campaign '222 million dreams' - reflecting the number of children affected by crises who are in need of education or educational support. 

A joint mission to Ethiopia by Education Cannot Wait and Norway International Development Minister brings attention to one of the world’s largest education crises that has left 3.6 million children out of school.

Ethiopia is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises it has seen in decades. On a joint high-level visit to Ethiopia, Education Cannot Wait (ECW) and the Norwegian Minister of International Development took stock of education needs in areas affected by the compounding, crippling impacts on children due to conflict, climate change, malnutrition and displacement.
