Call for an urgent intervention to save education in emergencies
The armed conflict in Northern Mozambique has triggered a severe child rights crisis, leaving 441,721 children and 5,365 teachers in urgent need of humanitarian education support, with 138 schools closed and 82,800 children having their learning interrupted. Despite the critical scale of this emergency, humanitarian education funding has alarmingly declined over the past four years, dropping from 37.5% coverage in 2022 to just 5.1% in 2025, marking the lowest funding level across all humanitarian clusters. Save the Children, alongside its allies, is therefore demanding urgent action from donors, UN agencies, and government stakeholders to demonstrate their duty of care and commitment to reverse this situation, protect the right of conflict-affected children to safe and uninterrupted learning, and prevent long-term, intergenerational impacts resulting from a lack of education.

Why children need safer, age-appropriate online spaces and not blanket bans

A Climate-Smart Education Initiative in Cambodia through Better Access to Climate Finance
The Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS) and the Ministry of Environment (MoE) are joint forces in discussions to accelerate access to climate finance for a resilient and adaptive education system, with the support of the Climate Smart Education Systems Initiative (CSESI).Participants take a group photo following welcoming remarks from ministry representatives. The workshop brought together stakeholders from the government, development agencies, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations to strengthen education financing strategies. (Photo: Save the Children)Climate change presents an unprecedented threat to children's rights, with millions of children globally facing an extremely high risk from its devastating impacts, which are the hardest hit by the climate crisis. 774 million children are facing the dual threat of high climate risk and poverty. A recent report by Save the Children shows that children born in 2020 will experience, on average, 2.6 times as many drought events, 2.8 times as many river floods, and 6.8 times more heatwaves across their lifetime compared to those born in 1960. [1]Climate change is a global issue impacting sectors, including food security, WASH, public health, socioeconomic development, and education. We notice temperature rises and extreme weather events such as flooding, prolonged drought, forest fires, heat waves, and rising seawater levels.With the support from MoE and partners, especially Save the Children, MoEYS is recently updated on progress in the education sector for NDC2.0 and continues to set high ambitions for NDC3.0, which MoEYS demonstrates and prioritizes on resilience infrastructure, capacity building, integrating environmental and climate change education, safe school programming, and both formal and informal education, said Mr. Pong Pitin, Deputy Director General – Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport.This shows the education sector's high commitment to addressing and responding to climate change and producing quality and capacity human resources, which are also crucial to achieve Cambodia's vision in 2050, Mr. Pong Pitin added. The workshop was presided over by representatives from the Ministry of Environment (MoE), the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport (MoEYS), and Save the Children in Cambodia. On the right, Mr. Pong Pitin, Deputy Director General (MoEYS), Mr. Ouk Navann, Deputy Director General (MoE), in the middle, and Mr. Ros Chanborith, Head of Program Development, Quality, and Impact, on the left. (Photo: Save the Children)Education is one of the most frequently disrupted sectors due to climate-related hazards. Yet, it is often overlooked in policy discussions, investment, and budget allocations, devastatingly impacting children, communities, and society. As such, many challenges persist in ensuring the safety and well-being of children from the impact of climate-related hazards and their education continuity. In Cambodia, flooding of roads has been shown to substantially increase travel times, cutting off access to hospitals and schools. Over 3 million students were affected by climate-related hazards in Cambodia (UNICEF, Global Snapshot of climate-related school disruptions in 2024).[2] According to an estimation by the World Bank, approximately 1% of students' education could be disrupted annually, with 33% and 13% of students affected by flooding in Kratie and Kampong Cham provinces.Despite bearing very little responsibility for the cause of the climate crisis, children's needs and rights are often absent from climate policies and financing. According to indicators to assess child-sensitivity in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), less than half meet this threshold, and research by Save the Children and partners found that only 2.4% of climate finance from four key multilateral climate funds is child-responsive. Strengthening the capacity and understanding of government ministries concerning the current climate finance landscape and how those climate windows can be accessed, and allocating additional climate finance for the education sector, is deemed necessary, said Mr. Ouk Navann, Deputy Director General, Ministry of Environment."As an estimation for the cost analysis to fully implement the Cambodia Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC3.0), Cambodia requires the total amount of 33.34 billion US dollars by 2035. Of these, 23.79 billion US dollars will support mitigation activities, while the proposed adaptation measures need 8.36 billion US dollars. At the same time, the enabling sector, which also includes education, awareness raising, and information, required 185 million US dollars to realize the NDC3.0 ambition."The growing impacts of climate change present significant challenges to Cambodia's education sector, threatening the safety and well-being of the students and teachers, the resilience of school infrastructure and facilities, and the overall education continuity. While Cambodian education authorities have made strides in incorporating climate change and sustainable development principles into educational programs and policies, stronger collaboration and coordination with other key government agencies are essential to effectively address the sector's unique needs and ensure long-term resilience. Additionally, enhancing Cambodia's access to climate finance and funding mechanisms is crucial to supporting the sustainable implementation of climate resilience initiatives within the education sector.The education sector plays a crucial role in society's transformation, responding to climate change and has been mainstreaming and integrating into national policies and frameworks, including the CCCSP 2024-2033 and particularly the NDC3.0, which will be submitted to the UNFCCC before the COP30 in Brazil Mr. OUK Navann, Deputy Director General, Ministry of Environment, said. With the support from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), the CSESI project brought together 35 participants from various sectors and line ministries, including the National Designed Authority, Direct Access Entity (DAE), Development Partners, Civil Society Organization, and the private sector to discuss the government's adaptation priorities and mapping available climate finance opportunities, and map active climate donors, which can facilitate the government ministries to make informed decisions on accessing climate finance for the education sector's priority activities. Save the Children in Cambodia actively supports the government's ministries including MoE and MoEYS to realize their climate ambitions in becoming a low carbon emission and resilience society through resources allocation and programs interventions that benefit children and their families, including investment in locally led adaptation, child-centered and focused, ensuring the safe and meaningful participation of children in shaping climate policy and action.[1] https://resourcecentre.savethechildren.net/document/born-into-the-climate-crisis-2-an-unprecedented-life-protecting-childrens-rights[2] Global-snapshot-climate-related-school-disruptions-2024.pdf

Journée de l’Enfant Africain 2025 : Investir dans l’enfance pour un avenir meilleur
À l’occasion de la Journée de l’Enfant Africain célébrée ce 16 juin 2025 sous le thème « Planification et budgétisation des droits de l’enfant : Progrès depuis 2010 », Save the Children en Côte d’Ivoire réaffirme son engagement indéfectible en faveur de la promotion et de la protection des droits des enfants en Côte d’Ivoire. En 2024, grâce à l’engagement de nos équipes et à la confiance du gouvernement et de nos partenaires financiers, nos actions ont impacté directement plus de 2 millions de personnes, dont environ 1,5 million d’enfants, à travers des programmes intégrés en protection de l’enfant, éducation, santé et nutrition, gouvernance des droits de l’enfant et plaidoyer. Ces résultats témoignent de notre capacité à générer des changements significatifs et durables dans la vie des enfants, y compris les plus vulnérables.Depuis 2010, des progrès ont été accomplis en matière de planification et de budgétisation des politiques en faveur des enfants. Toutefois, les investissements restent encore insuffisants pour couvrir les besoins de tous les enfants partout où ils sont.« La planification et la budgétisation pour les droits de l’enfant ne sont pas des dépenses, ce sont des investissements essentiels. Chaque franc investi dans l’éducation, la protection ou la santé des enfants, est un pas vers une société plus stable, plus juste, plus résiliente et plus prospère. À Save the Children, nous sommes fiers de contribuer à cet effort national aux côtés du gouvernement ivoirien depuis 34 ans, pour que chaque enfant ait la chance de survivre, d’apprendre, d’être protégé et de s’épanouir pleinement. », a affirmé Akébou Sawadogo, Directeur Pays, Save the Children Côte d’IvoireLes enfants continuent de faire face à des défis majeurs : accès inégal à l’éducation, protection insuffisante contre les violences, nutrition inadéquate, et faibles niveaux de participation aux décisions qui les concernent. Pour une meilleure prise en compte de leurs droits, Save the Children en Côte d’Ivoire recommande de :Renforcer l’allocation budgétaire aux secteurs sociaux sensibles à l’enfance, avec une exécution budgétaire efficace, redevable et équitable.Intégrer systématiquement les droits de l’enfant dans les plans de développement nationaux et locaux, à travers une approche fondée sur les droits.Encourager la participation des enfants et des communautés dans le suivi de la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques, à travers la mise en place des mécanismes de suivi budgétaire participatifs.Investir dans la collecte et l’analyse des données désagrégées sur les enfants pour une meilleure prise de décision et une gouvernance efficace des droits de l’enfant.Alors que la Côte d’Ivoire aspire à l’émergence, l’investissement dans l’enfance n’est pas une option, c’est un impératif. Il est crucial de traduire les engagements politiques en investissements concrets, équitables et durables. Save the Children reste engagé aux côtés du gouvernement ivoirien et de ses partenaires pour bâtir un avenir où chaque enfant, sans distinction, peut survivre, apprendre, être protégé et exprimer son plein potentiel. Faisons de l'investissement dans l'enfance une priorité. Ensemble, et maintenant. Organisation internationale pionnière fondée en 1919, Save the Children est présente en Côte d’Ivoire depuis 1991, où elle œuvre en étroite collaboration avec les autorités nationales, les partenaires techniques et financiers, ainsi que les communautés pour garantir à chaque enfant une enfance sûre, épanouie et protégée.
