Education Cannot Wait (ECW) is the first global movement and fund dedicated to education in emergencies and protracted crises. Established in 2016 during the World Humanitarian Summit, ECW was founded by international humanitarian and development aid organisations and public and private donors. The goal was to prioritise education on the humanitarian agenda, foster a more collaborative approach among actors on the ground, and ensure additional funding to guarantee every crisis-affected child and young person is in school and learning.
