In 2017, the Global Education Cluster (GEC), co-led by UNICEF and Save the Children International, developed and implemented a project (funded through contributions from the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations of the European Commission (DG ECHO), UNICEF, Save the Children and other donors), known as “the GEC Action”. The aim of this grant was to strengthen the capacities of education clusters/working groups (EC/WGs) to deliver timely, effective responses at country level. The main purpose of this evaluation was to analyse ‘what worked where and how’ in the GEC Action and to offer lessons learned for GEC managers and other users. The evaluation was particularly timely in offering a learning opportunity to inform the process of development of the new GEC strategy (2020-2021). This evaluation also serves an accountability function by providing an independent assessment of the GEC Action against its intended results. The temporal focus is on the duration of the GEC Action from 1 November 2017 to 1 November 2019. The geographic focus is on GEC results at the country level, with a primary focus on countries that received the majority of GEC support. The thematic focus is on the operational activities of the GEC Action and EC/WG teams, and results achieved in terms of core skills obtained, needs assessment methodology used, and EiE strategies developed.
