<\/p>\n

In the face of the global challenge posed by the spread of violent extremist ideologies, UNICEF in collaboration with a number of partners namely:- Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), Federal Government of Ethiopia, Ministry of Education- Ethiopia, ADEA Inter Country Quality Node (ICQN) on Peace Education and the \u2018Learning for Peace\u2019 Institute, organized a symposium that sought to assess how inclusive, equitable and innovative education policy and programmes can contribute to sustainable peace and development across the continent. The high-level Symposium, attended by Ministers of Education from 16 African countries and other education stakeholders took place between 1st and 3rd June 2016, in Addis Ababa.<\/p>\n

The symposium had three main thematic areas: 1) The role of education in strengthening social cohesion and resilience; 2) Combating Violence through quality and education; and 3) schools for learning and for practicing peace.<\/p>\n

As part of the Kenyan contributors, Dr. Dorcas Kiplagat, who presented on \u201cBuilding Community Resilience to Prevent Violent Extremism, represented the GNRC\u201d. The presentation focused on GNRC\u2019s two programmes; CRAVE- Community Resilience Against Violent Extremism and BRAVE- Building Community Resilience Against Violent Extremism and how their implementation strategies can be utilized to impact learning.<\/p>\n

Commitments were made at the end of the symposium aimed at strengthening education policies and programmes to achieve SDGs and Africa\u2019s Agenda 2063, notably the signing of the inter-ministerial communique and commitment to build on lessons and evidence to education policy and programmes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
