Estimer / Evaluer
	En 1999 l'UNESCO a conduit une évaluation inter-agence de l'éducation en situations d'urgence qui a mené à l'Etude thématique sur l'éducation en situations d'urgence et de crise : Défis pour un nouveau siècle, présentée au Forum mondial de l'éducation à Dakar.

 

Given the need to seek out grey literature and often personal testimony, preparation of such studies is time-consuming. A top priority is to conduct state of the art studies on education for reconstruction in major recent, complex, humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters, and in unstable country situations. Real-time evaluation of education response to major crisis and recovery There has been inadequate evaluation of education response in complex emergencies. As regards education reconstruction, the Inter-Agency evaluation of responses to major crisis situations suggested weaknesses in strategy and response . Follow-up and real-time studies are needed of major crises, since data are otherwise lost and research findings are too little and too late. UNESCO encourage partners to sponsor a coordinated set of real-time longitudinal evaluations of the education situations, in particular in the Great Lakes Region, the Horn of Africa, West Africa, Central Asia (including Afghanistan), the Caucasus and Colombia. The same approach could usefully be applied to natural disaster response and prevention activities in the education sector. These long-term studies make possible the development of a substantially more efficient approach to future crisis and reconstruction programmes. At present there is no solid foundation for policy in such situations. The new state of the art studies would provide progressively improved basic tools for all subsequent emergency response. Academic or research institutions should be associated in priority to these activities. The studies could be funded by various sources and coordinated by UNESCO which would provide technical support and convene workshops to review issues of methodology and exchange of findings.
