Module 1. Case Study: Crisis Sensitive Education Sector Plan
The education sector analysis process sought to be inclusive and participatory, and
worked to engage development as well as humanitarian actors, including UNHCR and
the Education Cluster.
Throughout the ESP planning process, aspects of conflict and disaster risk reduction,
together with the provision of quality education for refugees and internally displaced
populations, were discussed.
The political and humanitarian context was a cross-cutting theme that was considered
across the planning process. This theme covered aspects related to geographic,
political, humanitarian, demographic, social and macroeconomic context of South
Sudan. Although external to education systems, these aspects significantly influenced
both education demand and supply.
The team developed a description of the main risks in South Sudan.
The ESA brings together available data and conducts additional analysis through
acrisis-sensitive lens.
The finalization of the ESP also involved develop ing a monitoring and evaluation
framework, with key performance indicators for the sector, including indicators for
conflict and disaster risk reduction activities.

Module 1. Case Study: Crisis Sensitive Education Sector Plan
In the case of South Sudan, their participation throughout the process was key to
ensuring that the humanitarian work that is ongoing in the country is aligned with
Government priorities and long-term objectives.
Today in South Sudan, the economic crisis is likely to result in a further shift in funding
from development to humanitarian support. Such a shift risks eroding progress made
and retarding the development of the education sector. It is especially critical in the
context that the ESP clearly articulates the humanitarian and development priorities of
the education sector. Then, all external funding, whether development of human or
humanitarian, is utilized in pursuit of agreed education priorities. This will help maintain
the education system and children’s rights to education, and allow for the
development of the sector as the situation stabilizes.
Seeking ways that the humanitarian and development response can align with a
common framework will continue to bridge the humanitarian-development divide in
South Sudan.
