Strengthening Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) and Data for Increased Resilience to Crisis: country case study: Syria

The ‘Strengthening Education Management and Information Systems (EMIS) and Data for Increased Resilience to Crises’ initiative responds to the need for accurate and relevant education data and evidence in crisis contexts. UNESCO, in partnership with NORCAP and supported by Education Cannot Wait and SIDA, has conducted country case studies in Chad, Ethiopia, Uganda, Palestine, South Sudan and Syria to analyse recurring data challenges in crisis situations in the framework of the initiative. The objective of the case study is to highlight gaps between the information generated through EMIS and data and information used by humanitarian/development actors in Syria and to outline potential remedial actions to address identified gaps.
