ECW Strategic Plan 2018 - 2021

This first ever Education Cannot Wait (ECW) Strategic Plan covers the period 2018-2021. The Plan defines ECW's vision, mission, overarching goal and strategic objectives. It outlines ECW's three funding modalities and five core functions:

1. Inspire political commitment;
2. Mobilize and catalyse financing;
3. Support joint programmeming to bridge relief and development;
4. Strengthen capacity and localization;
5. Improve accountability, evidence-based data and quality.

The Plan embodies the 'New Way of Working' in the humanitarian-development nexus, including the strengthened collaboration of a wide range of stakeholders to achieve collective education outcomes.
