Thank you Ambassador James Larsen 🇦🇺🇺🇳 Ambassador Fifield 🇦🇺 for an inspiring & like-minded meeting! 🙏#EduCannotWait looks forward working w you. #SDG4 #LeaveNoOneBehind
"Our added value is simple, #ECW follows populations: the #refugees, internally displaced, #girls, children w/#disabilities, who are caught in #conflict or #climate-induced disasters. We work with host governments but people in need are our #1 priority" ~ Yasmine Sherif #SMCO21
"The most vulnerable people are the result of armed conflict, and they are the ones who fall in the cracks of the plan. We find them through CSOs on the ground. If we miss them, we miss the point." Education Cannot Wait Yasmine Sherif at World Bank IFC & IMF #SMCSO21
"In a crisis, you can't rely on domestic financing alone, b/c democratic governance, the rule of law, the whole system doesn't work. For proper recovery, the whole system needs to function. This is why for #ECW, #ODA & private sector funding are top priorities” ~ Yasmine Sherif

"Education must be a top priority across the multilateral coordination system - as both a humanitarian and a development priority. #SDG4 - quality, inclusive education is the key to achieving all the other #SDGoals.” ~Yasmine Sherif at #GAWE2021. United Nations GCE-US USAID ONE
"We appeal to strategic donor partners, parliamentarians, & governments, to help fill the funding gap of $400M so we can work with partners such as the World Food Programme to help deliver critical school feeding components to reach children & adolescents left furthest behind." ~ graham lang
