Education in Emergencies: A Global Call for 222 Million Children

Join us at Lohrfink Auditorium at Georgetown University's Main Campus for an exciting discussion on the state of U.S. Government financing to the education in emergencies sector. Special guests include Yasmine Sherif, Director of Education Cannot Wait (ECW), LeAnna Marr, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Center for Education, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and Elizabeth Campbell, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Bureau for Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) at the U.S. Department of State.

Education Cannot Wait, the UN’s Global Fund for Education in Emergencies, will hold its multi-year High-Level Financing Conference February 16-17, 2023, in Geneva. This is a crucial opportunity for the U.S. to commit to financing quality, inclusive, and transformative education for over 222 million children and adolescents living in crisis and conflict settings around the world.

This dynamic, exciting event will feature two discussions, "Financing the Education in Emergencies sector: A Case for Investment in #222MillionDreams 📚 ✨", which will provide an overview of Education Cannot Wait's mission and the U.S. Government's support to the sector, and "Nothing About Us Without Us: Youth-Led Solutions to Education Crises," a call to action by young leaders working to protect the right to education for displaced students around the world.
