Launch event: Holistic learning outcomes measurement handbook for education in emergencies and protracted crises

Organized by the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), Geneva Global Hub for Education in Emergencies and Education Cannot Wait

Wednesday, 10 September 2025 –15:00 CEST / 9:00 EST

Join us for the official launch of the new Education Cannot Wait (ECW) Holistic Learning Outcome Measurement (HLOM) Handbook. This webinar will bring together practitioners, donors and policymakers on education in humanitarian-development work to learn about the background, scope and purpose of the Handbook – and how it can support your work.

The HLOM Handbook provides a structured approach for designing and executing tailored holistic learning outcome measurements. The Handbook takes a technical, capacity-development and research uptake approach to strengthen learning assessment systems in emergencies and protracted crises settings. It is designed to guide EIEPC programmes and organizations, including ECW grantees, who conduct an HLOM.

The Handbook draws on the evidence from ECW’s 2021–2024 HLOM programme implemented by Cambridge Education and Oxford MeasurEd, ECW Multi-Year Resilience Programme grantees in six countries – Uganda, Iraq, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Bangladesh – and six National Assessment Partners.

Panelists: 

• Dieuwerke Luiten, Porticus
• Maurits Spoelder, Education Cannot Wait
• Dr. Rachel Outhred, Oxford MeasurEd
• Gentjana Gjergji, Save the Children Iraq, ECW MYRP Director
