INEE Minimum Standards Update

Since the launch of the INEE Minimum Standards, significant changes have taken place in the field of education in emergencies. First, a number of issues have evolved or emerged, notably around climate change, disaster risk reduction, and conflict mitigation. Second, as mentioned before, the Humanitarian Reform process was launched in 2005 and aims “to enhance humanitarian response capacity, predictability, accountability and partnership,” and the handbook needs to explain and take into account the IASC Education Cluster. Third, the companionship between the Sphere Project Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response and INEE Minimum Standards calls for a better representation of the strong linkages between the two sets of standards. Based on recommendations received from the INEE Minimum Standards feedback forms (collected from 2005 to 2008) and verbal recommendations received from members at trainings workshops and various meetings over the past four years, three key areas have emerged as priorities in carrying out the update: reflecting developments in the field of education in emergencies and post-crisis recovery; being more user-friendly; and incorporating the experiences of INEE members using it so far.

The purpose of the update process is therefore not to change the qualitative standards, nor to overhaul the INEE Minimum Standards Handbook. Rather, it is to simplify its format and language while strengthening key issues as needed (for example, DRR, HIV/AIDS, curriculum, and so forth) and making qualitative indicators and guidance notes more specific and quantifiable. The 2010 edition of the INEE Minimum Standards, which is expected to be launch in the spring, will also address inconsistencies, faults and omissions from the 2004 edition.
