Anyone looking for inspirational examples of dedication, perseverance, resilience and strength of character should look no further than the students and teachers featured in this year’s report on refugees and education. From Ecuador to Jordan, from Iran to Ethiopia, these young refugees and the adults who support them realize how much living a life in dignity and preparing for solutions depend on access to full and formal quality education.

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented disruption to the global economy and world trade. Many countries have locked down their borders, or severely restricted freedoms in a bid to contain community transmission of the virus. Globally, 3 billion people depend on international trade for their food security; a huge number of them are in Africa. It is for this reason that markets must be kept open. Countries should refrain from export restrictions. Trade restrictions…
COVID-19 is not just a health, humanitarian or socio-economic crisis; it is a governance crisis, testing the resilience of governance systems and institutions during the pandemic. The lack of sufficient accountability and oversight mechanisms in crisis response and recovery significantly increases the risks of corruption and fraud. The most vulnerable and marginalised populations disproportionately suffer the most; and people lose trust in their governments, undermining the effectiveness of response and recovery measures to the crisis….
The impacts of crises are never gender neutral, and COVID-19 is no exception. While men reportedly have a higher fatality rate, women and girls are especially hurt by the resulting economic and social fallout. Impacts on women and girls have worsened across the board. Women are losing their livelihoods faster because they are more exposed to hard-hit economic sectors. According to a new analysis commissioned by UN Women and UNDP, by 2021 around 435 million…
The COVID-19 pandemic – as well as the governmental and societal responses to it – feed into, feed off, and trigger pre-existing local, national, and global patterns of inequality and exclusion. Unsurprisingly, these responses have also had generational and gendered manifestations. The profile of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact, provides a powerful mirror image of the interconnected structural ‘violence of exclusion’ that young women and men described so powerfully through The Missing Peace: Independent Progress Study…
Whilst over one billion children worldwide have been affected by school closures as a result of the global pandemic, this analysis presents the unique ways in which children in fragile and conflict-affected settings have been further affected by the virus. By highlighting the existing challenges faced by school-age children in humanitarian settings, this analysis focuses on how these pre-existing vulnerabilities have been compounded by COVID-19, how approaches can be best adapted to ensure these children…
The COVID-19 pandemic affects all countries, but how governments respond is dictated by politics. Amid this, the World Health Organization (WHO) has tried to coordinate advice to states and offer ongoing management of the outbreak. Given the political drivers of COVID-19, the authors of this article argue this is an important moment to advance International Relations knowledge as a necessary and distinctive method for inclusion in the WHO repertoire of knowledge inputs for epidemic control….
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable people are enormous, both in terms of the number of people infected and the profound economic crisis that has been unleashed. Individuals and population groups who were already suffering from violence, stigma, discrimination and unequal access to basic services and living conditions are bearing the brunt of this new crisis. The COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response Plan (GHRP) analyses and responds…
What – from the perspective of global peace and security – are some of the most critical existing trends that are being intensified? What impact might this have on the dynamics and mechanics of peace processes? And, to help us seek clarity on how to act in light of these intensifying trends, what are the key questions we still need to answer to help define the future of mediation? It is incumbent on mediators and…
The COVID-19 pandemic has been without a doubt the most pressing issue throughout much of 2020. Across the world, as infection rates and deaths rose, the effects of the pandemic were felt across all sectors of society. Medical services have been overwhelmed, businesses have been shattered and governments have struggled to deal with the crisis.
