| Description: |
Guided by the capability for resilience, collective capabilities, and agency, this study aims to examine communities’ initiatives to ensure coherence in the learning systems and facilitate children’s and young people’s access and continued learning during the protracted crisis period in the conflict-affected settings of Northeast Nigeria. Conducted in Madagali, Adamawa, the study investigates an area defined by protracted crisis, where resettling communities remain vulnerable to the threat of renewed violence. It used a mixed-methods research design. Findings show that community members (community leaders, families, teachers, NGOs, NPOs, and vocational education providers) display resilience and mobilise resources to bring coherence to learning systems and ensure children and young people’s security and continued access to learning opportunities. While this enables more children and young people to access basic education, learn skills, and avoid radicalisation by Boko Haram, it does not absolve the federal and state governments of their responsibility to provide UBE. |
