INEE Capacity Building Action Plan

Strategic Priority 2: Strengthen capacity to deliver quality, safe, relevant, and equitable education for all

Guiding Principles

Standards based
Recognizes both the distinct and complementary role that INEE can play
Draws on the incredible depth of knowledge and expertise amongst the network and connect to SP4 work
Aims to respond to needs at all levels of the system (e.g. field practitioners, national actors, teachers, early career professionals)
Considers not only availability, but also consistency, quality, and accessibility of capacity building opportunities
Phased approach

14 of 31

Objectives:

Improve the quality and increase the availability of INEE capacity building opportunities

E.g. Help desk, e-learning, roster of ‘Master Trainers’

Work with sector colleagues to harmonize and strengthen professional development approaches

E.g. share and disseminate opportunities, influence (e.g. PD framework and good pd practices), collaboration and partnerships etc

Ensure the quality, accessibility, and applicability of EiE tools and resources to support the operationalisation of the INEE Minimum Standards

E.g. guidance for INEE tool development, collaboration with network spaces, learning from tool usage etc

Improve professional development and strengthen capacities for teachers in crisis contexts

SPWG Overall Goals

Addressing Gaps in Leadership

Working Groups need ~8 member leaders at any given time!

2 WG co-chairs; 6 work stream co-conveners (2 for each group)
Collaboratives additionally need ~6 member leaders (2 per collaborative)�

Call for:

At least 1 new WG co-chair
2 new M&E work stream co-conveners
1 new TiCC co-chair
Any others?

18 of 31

SPWG Overall Goals

Proposal:

Every Working Group member is required to take on a leadership role for at least 3-6 months at some point during their WG membership�

Pros: Allows volunteer leaders to rotate / “step out” during busy times with less pressure / ongoing work�
Cons: ‘Additional’ responsibilities for members who have not taken on leadership roles in the past. Difficulties with continuity of work/leadership?

Revisiting Our Business Case

Do you remember the ‘business case’ process we took up during the Spring 2018 Oslo WG Meetings?

We looked at INEE’s “new” 2018 - 2020 Strategic Priorities

Looking Back: INEE Priorities

2015-2017 Priority 3: “To increase the availability and accessibility of knowledge and information, which builds upon and strengthens capacities to deliver quality, safe and relevant education for all.”

2018-2020 Priority 2: “To increase the availability and accessibility of knowledge and information which contributes to the existing evidence base required to inform research, policy, and practice.”

2018-2020 Priority 4: “To strengthen the capacity of INEE members to deliver quality, safe, and relevant education for all.”

Looking Forward: Recommendations

Suggestions from the 2015-2017 SPWG (in no particular order):

The INEE Minimum Standards: Continuing to support the application, contextualization and institutionalization of the INEE MS; ensuring the continued utility and relevance of the MS; and maintaining the centrality of the MS in INEE’s other tools, resources and activities
Quality in Service Delivery: Emphasizing the quality of academic, psychosocial and social and emotional learning in emergency contexts, and prioritizing the professional development and management of teachers
Evidence Building: Developing harmonized monitoring and evaluation tools and guidance in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning; gathering evidence linked to improved learning outcomes; and providing guidance for measurement approaches in rapid response contexts
Capacity Development: Supporting the professionalization of the EiE sector
Intersectoral Linkages and Collaboration: Linking to Child Protection, Safety, Health and other sectors, as well as local actors and Ministries of Education, to ensure coordinated responses and mainstreamed use of the INEE MS and related tools

We looked at INEE’s “new” 2018 - 2020 Strategic Priorities.

SPWG Overall Goals

Revisiting Our Business Case - Process Discussion

How useful were Business Cases in developing a work plan for your Working Group, Work Stream, and/or Collaborative?
How useful was the feedback provided by Steering Group members on your draft Business Case?
How useful were the Business Cases as a reference tool in guiding your work throughout the time your group was convened?
How clear was the process by which the Business Cases were developed, reviewed, and approved?
How can we improve the process by which the Business Cases are developed, reviewed, and approved?
Should the Business Case process be institutionalized within INEE Working Groups (e.g., repeated for the next iteration of the Working Groups)?

Revisiting Our Business Case - Overarching Objective

In what ways do we feel that our work over the last 2 years has supported the INEE MS?�

SPWG Overall Goals

Revisiting Our Business Case - MS Update Background

Minimum Standards Specialist seconded to INEE by Plan International in September 2017
INEE Working Group members held focus group discussions on first draft concept note re updating the Minimum Standards in October 2017
Small group of INEE Working Group members carried forward update discussions and produced second draft concept note re updating the Minimum Standards in February 2018. The draft was circulated for comments and edited through April 2018.
The reconstituted Standards and Practice Working Group met for the first time in May 2018, and put forward business cases and work plans designed to gather information and support broader uses of the INEE Minimum Standards, aiming to facilitate concrete decisions around a revision / update.

SPWG Overall Goals

Revisiting Our Business Case - Overarching Objective

2 years later -- do we have clearer ideas about revising / updating the INEE MS?

If a donor wanted to fund an update process tomorrow, how would our WG / work plans be affected?
