The EU and UNICEF call for increased commitments to invest in quality education for children in crisis

In order to help children caught up in fragile humanitarian settings remain in school, or to return to school, the European Commission and UNICEF are calling for strengthened collective engagement and increased public funding. On 22 March 2023, the European Humanitarian Forum and the joint High-Level Conference on Education in Emergencies will be held in Brussels.

From 2015 to 2022, the EU allocated €970 million for education in emergencies. Over 10 years after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded, the EU has funded education in emergencies projects through its humanitarian aid programmes.

In 2023, the EU plans to provide €158 million for education in emergencies projects worldwide.
