Last in Line, Last in School 2008. How donors can support education for children affected by conflict and emergencies

Last in Line, Last in School 2008 demonstrates the urgent need for donors to increase aid for education in conflict-affected fragile states (CAFS). It highlights the need for an international aid architecture that ensures long-term and sustainable aid for education during periods of conflict and emergency. World leaders have promised to provide education for all children by 2015. Only by taking immediate action to meet the needs of children living in countries affected by conflict and emergencies will they meet this goal. This report is part of Save the Children’s five-year Rewrite the Future education initiative, which seeks to help millions of children in conflict-affected areas gain access to and reap the current and future benefits of a quality education.
