Dubai / WAM

Dubai Cares, part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, announced the creation of a new research programme, known as Evidence for Education in Emergencies (E3), at a special event in New York during the week of the opening of the 71st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The launch event was hosted jointly by the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), focusing on generating ideas on how to inform critically needed research, which in turn would inform political decision makers working to create effective policies.
Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Cares said, “Today, Dubai Cares is announcing a five-year research envelope worth AED 36.73 (US$10 million), which aims to generate more and better evidence to inform decision- and policy makers on what works and what models of delivery of education in emergencies offer the greatest potential for impact.”
