I appreciate our long-standing partnership with NYU Global TIES for Children which has allowed us to engage in iterative learning over the years
In July IRC - International Rescue Committee spoke to girls in #Afghanistan about going back to school. Now their future is uncertain. This animation is to protect their identities. Grateful to Sepideh Moafi Lilli Kay, Qeiva Grant & local Afghan IRC staff for their voices.rescue.org/article/millio…
So proud of our ten year partnership and counting with NYU Global TIES for Children to understand what works to improve children’s learning in crisis contexts.
See IRC - International Rescue Committee’s Vicki Aken on CBS 60 minutes talk about the need for development funds to continue to support basic services such as Education and Health. Seventy five percent of these services were dependent on foreign aid and are now disrupted due to the freeze in funding.
