This annotated bibliography reflects the findings from a scoping exercise to identify the published research about young children in emergency and crisis. Every year, emergenices place millions of children at risk worldwide affecting young children's security, health, emotional and psychosocial development. Early Childhood care and development (ECCD) in emergencies provides immediate, life-saving, multi-sectoral support for children from conception to eight years during times of crisis. The scope of the literature includes aspects of the need for ECCD in emergencies; interventions in ECCD in different types of emergency; and curricula, resources, training and dissemination of information for ECCD in emergencies. To suggest additional articles to be included in the annotated bibliography or for further information, please contact minimumstandards@ineesite.org or earlychildhoodtaskteam@ineesite.org.

Crises negatively affect the education and livelihood prospects of youth, which in turn can play a role in the perpetuation of fragility in post-crisis settings. The development and implementation of effective education and training for youth in contexts characterized by displacement, a breakdown of social services, and economic despair presents a broad spectrum of challenges. Yet, it is a necessary component of promoting self-sufficiency and long-term stability. This annotated bibliography aims to contribute to building the evidence base to effectively articulate and advocate for successful, quality education programming for all youth affected by crisis. The selection criteria for documents reviewed in this annotated bibliography were broadly defined as any texts dealing with, reviewing, analyzing, evaluating or describing educational programmes catering specifically or partially to youth and adolescents in situations of emergency, protracted crisis through to post-crisis and recovery. Preference was given to texts that address specific impacts and lessons learned. This review is not meant to be a mapping exercise of existing programmes and actors, rather it attempts to document specific impacts of programmatic approaches.

This annotated bibliography reflects the results from a review of the literature regarding teacher professional development (TPD) in conflict, post-conflict, fragile, and developing contexts.  The scope of the literature includes aspects of TPD such as specific models and approaches, information and communications technologies (ICT), teacher management, theoretical frameworks for strategic TPD, and the impact of TPD on a variety of outcomes.

In the run-up to 2015 and beyond, the global education community must work together to improve learning and propose practical actions to deliver and measure progress. In response, UNESCO through its Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution have co-convened the Learning Metrics Task Force (LMTF). The project's main objective is to shift the focus of global education debates from access to access plus learning. Based on input from technical working groups and global consultations, the task force will make recommendations to help countries and international organizations measure and improve learning outcomes for children and youth worldwide.
