International policy reforms

In the summer of 2009, CfBT published four highly influential books all on the topic of education in conflict, emergencies, reconstruction and fragile states. The publications were the culmination of a two-year partnership with the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP).

The research took place in Africa, Asia and the Middle East during 2008 and contributed to Education for All (EFA) goals through the development of knowledge on specific interventions, strategies and methodologies that could be used to improve access to quality education.
