Information & communication
	Poor security conditions, destruction of infrastructure, lack of electricity and other factors limit the direct use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for educational purposes in many emergency situations. Where possible, however, educational ICTs should be introduced for secondary and post-secondary students, in order to increase their employability, especially in the context of assistance organizations requiring computer-literate staff.

 

UNESCO will cooperate with INEE in the development of its web-site. This will serve as a tool for bringing together best practice and generic educational materials designed for use in emergency situations, as well as data on current programmes. UNESCO will participate in the ongoing technical discussions regarding standardized reporting formats and the development of databases on emergency education programmes. It will provide support to the database development of INEE and to the ongoing database construction being initiated by the Women’s Commission for Refugee Women and Children.
