Foreword
Education is an essential life-saving and life-sustaining component of humanitarian response. A key
responsibility of education and humanitarian actors is ensuring all people affected by crisis and instability have
access to quality, relevant, and safe education opportunities consistent with the INEE Minimum Standards for
Education: Preparedness, Response, Recovery.
The Education in Emergencies (EiE) sector faces the challenge of developing and maintaining a qualified
workforce and presently lacks a harmonized, inter-agency approach to workforce development. Furthermore,
the protracted nature of crises represents a shift in education service delivery practices and demands an
increasingly diverse set of competencies amongst educators and humanitarians. Recent studies on EiE sector
workforce and labor markets demonstrate the need for a competency framework that enables EiE stakeholders
– in particular practitioners, recruitment managers, and service providers – to better understand and offer what
is most relevant for sustaining education in crisis contexts (INEE, 2015; INEE, 2017; UNICEF, 2018).
While there already are a number of agency-specific professional development models for the sector, they are
not integrated into a wider, systematic framework. INEE has therefore developed the Education in Emergencies
Competency Framework (EiE CF), grounded in the INEE Minimum Standards, to articulate a common set of
competencies. The objectives of the competency framework are to operationalize the INEE Minimum Standards,
harmonize and professionalize capacity building for the sector, and directly improve implementation and
practice as part of preparedness, response and recovery.

PURPOSE
The EiE Competency Framework builds on the INEE Minimum Standards to articulate a set of required, valued
and recognized competencies for the humanitarian and education in emergencies sectors. It broadly describes
expected standards of performance across a number of competencies that can be applied to different roles.
The framework provides a common lexicon for core humanitarian and technical competencies and defines
expected knowledge, skills and attributes for each.
The framework is intended to inform staff recruitment, learning and professional development, performance
management, planning, and organizational design. It is a sector-wide guidance to advance the accountability,
effectiveness, and predictability of educational preparedness, response and recovery for affected populations.
The framework is primarily intended for use by EiE practitioners in humanitarian contexts. However, it is also
relevant at the global level and in development settings in support of planning and emergency preparedness. It
is best used in conjunction with the Core Humanitarian Competency Framework (CHCF) and, where applicable,
the Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) Competency Framework (specifically Competency 5.4
Integrating CPHA and education). It is transferable across people, countries, and cultures and can be a valuable
tool for entry-, mid-, and senior level professional development.

COMPETENCY LEVELS
Competency levels describe a progressive growth in ability for each competency. For this framework each
competency is associated with three competency levels that are indicative of the knowledge and experience
commensurate with the competency.
•L
evel 1 describes individuals who are relatively new to the field and implementing EiE programming as
part of a team.
•L
evel 2 describes individuals with some experience in the field gained from a few assignments
across different EiE contexts. They have experience in using contextual information to adapt and
operationalize various EiE programming.
•L
evel 3 describes individuals who are experts in the field. They are creating, designing or adapting EiE
programming and they are able to lead and train others.

I. Introduction
The Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (the Alliance) are global networks of actors working on
education and child protection in emergencies/humanitarian settings.
Education in Emergencies (EiE) and Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) actors work side-by-side to respond to the holistic needs of children and youth affected by emer-
gencies, crises and forced displacement. Integrating child protection and education creates a mutually reinforcing cycle that can reduce children’s vulnerability in emergencies and
increase the positive impact of programmes on children's lives.. A quality education increases children and families’ resilience in adversity, empowers children and promotes a protec-
tive environment. An environment free from unchecked child abuse, neglect, violence or exploitation promotes participation in education. Integrating child protection and education
programmes, policies and minimum standards maximises available resources to better address the multifaceted challenges and risks children face in humanitarian settings.
Both the INEE & The Alliance have developed competency frameworks for practitioners in each sector, related closely to the INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies,
and the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action. This annexe has been developed to support collaboration between the two sectors by providing an easy
way to identify areas of alignment.
Integrated programming requires practitioners to understand and demonstrate some of the key competencies of each sector. Managers should be aware of what integrated program-
ming means for required competencies and how through cross referencing the competencies they can support staff to deliver more collaborative approaches. In practical terms, this will
include some technical skills (See Specific Competencies) but with an emphasis on the softer skills that support cross-sector collaboration and integration (See General Competencies).
