Ms. Hiba Jaafar, representing the Education Office at Sadagaat Charity Organization, participated in a forum organized by the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), in collaboration with Kenya’s Ministry of Education and the University of Nairobi, from 13 to 15 October 2026.

The forum explored ways to shift power dynamics within the Education in Emergencies (EiE) ecosystem, with a focus on strengthening the role of local actors in setting priorities, making decisions, directing resources, and leading education responses that reflect the needs of communities affected by crises.

The importance of these discussions lies in recognizing that sustainable educational efforts require more than the provision of services and resources. They also depend on strengthening the role of local actors, drawing on their expertise, and ensuring their meaningful participation in shaping solutions and decisions that directly affect their communities.

These discussions highlight the importance of knowledge exchange and building partnerships that contribute to more locally responsive education interventions and help sustain learning during times of crisis
