School safety context analysis

This is a research and analysis report intended to provide a brief and readable context analysis, providing the essential information for individuals and organisations to be able to:

• Advocate effectively for school safety at national level (or in federated countries, at sub-national level), and • ensure that any expenditure of time and effort in this domain are designed to build upon existing policies and capacities 

It is used:

• As a shared, factual starting point for advocates, team members, program planners and implementers and new staff wanting to support comprehensive school safety and education sector development in your country. 
• As an appendix to an appeal for funding for either education in emergencies or disaster risk reduction in the education sector.
• What you would want any humanitarian contributors to the education sector to read before their helicopter lands.
• As ‘denominator’ information, providing a baseline against which to assess the adequacy, scalability and sustainability of efforts to integrate drr/cca into education sector development efforts.
