Although there is often an abundance of humanitarian aid initially following an emergency, more distant concerns usually fall off the map, but the rebuilding of schools, training of teachers, and provision of educational resources can be crucial to long-term success. Even more subtle is the coordination of different government agencies, especially in fragile states. The eight case studies offered here show the details of education aid, from that given to professionals working with Burmese refugees in Thailand to the approach used in the Ivory Coast. Karpinska works with the Inter-Agency Network of Education in Emergencies and the Education Cluster Working Group. A helpful list of abbreviations and acronyms appears at the start of the book.
