Building a Resilient and Responsive Education System in Jordan: Strengthening Evidence-Based Crisis-Sensitive Planning and Governance

Access to quality education for all in Jordan has been impacted by several crises in recent years, including the Syrian refugee crisis, global economic instability, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2019, UNESCO is supporting the efforts of the Ministry of Education (MoE) and national institutions to improve the responsiveness and resilience of the education system to crises through strong governance and information management systems, by strengthening evidence-based planning, monitoring, and decisionmaking. This case study provides valuable evidence and learnings from the process of building a strong enabling institutional environment necessary to strengthen evidence-based crisis and risk-sensitive planning and monitoring.
