• Education Cannot Wait

  What concrete actions have you taken in support of the initiative.

  While not direct contributors to the "Education Cannot Wait" fund, the Foundation has supported a research project that will help to inform its parent organization, Theirworld, to deliver a flagship safe schools report that provides a blueprint for action for addressing the right to education and achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 in complex humanitarian conflicts and areas impacted by violence.  Among the outcomes of this effort will be recommendations made to inform policy, practice, and strategy among foundations, governments, donor agencies, international financial institutions, the business community, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).  It is hoped these recommendations will result in changes in policy among all donors aiming at financing and delivery of education in complex humanitarian conflicts and areas impacted by violence.
