Governmental Institutions
	UNESCO’s role is clearly to support the plurality of multilateral, bilateral and non-governmental organizations and government institutions working in emergency situations with holistic technical support and to provide leadership in the sector-wide reconstruction of education systems that will provide a framework for peaceful and sustainable national development.

 

UNESCO can play an important role in bridging the so-called ‘relief - development gap’. Compartmentalization between ‘relief’ or ‘humanitarian assistance’ and ‘development aid’ still continues in many forms, including donor funding and agency mandates. UNESCO can help to build the bridge through education, which is a necessary component of early emergency response, but which has developmental consequences.
