The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, IRC offers life-saving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in more than 40 countries and in 22 U.S. cities, IRC restores safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted by conflict or disaster. IRC leads the way from harm to home.

CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND

One of the impacts of COVID-19 is that an unprecedented 1.6 billion students across the world have been out of school; however, 258 million children were already out of school before the pandemic. Half of these children live in crisis-affected countries. And while progress has been made towards achieving universal education over the past twenty years, these “last mile” children remain largely out of reach. In response to this crisis, the Nigeria country team in coordination with the Education Global Research & Innovation Priority (GRIP) at Airbel Impact Lab and the Education Technical Unit will implement an innovative program in a number of crisis-affected contexts that reaches last-mile children and parents and caregivers, providing them with quality education solutions.

Unlike other emergency-constrained contexts, Nigeria has a large commercial EdTech market with solutions that address many of the infrastructure characteristics that we would normally consider unique to the humanitarian context. This results in a large portion of existing commercial EdTech solutions with potential to serve humanitarian needs. This is the result of Nigeria’s large market economy and because most of the country (including urban areas) face similar baseline constraints as humanitarian contexts such as intermittent power, connectivity, and insecurity. Due to this intersection, many EdTech companies already build with these conditions in mind as part of their commercial strategy. Building for these conditions is not a humanitarian issue, so new solutions usually don’t need to be built up from the idea stage. In Nigeria we will work with market ready companies with “dual-use” commercial applications to generate solutions for the humanitarian education context.
