About ERICC

ERICC produces accessible, actionable knowledge on what works — and why, for whom, and at what cost — and aims to improve access, quality, and continuity of education conflict- and crisis-affected contexts across the world. 

Our approach is rooted in co-constructed research and collaborative partnerships from the local to the global level, to strengthen evidence-based decision making across research, policy and practice. 

ERICC focuses on 8 countries including Bangladesh (Cox’s Bazar), Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nigeria, South Sudan, Iraq, and Syria. 

Four research principles help guide our work and provide tools for the wider field:

• The process of ERICC research agenda co-construction involves participation by local and national policymakers and government officials to jointly set research priorities; 
• Prioritisation of Political Economy Analysis of education in different settings to understand factors that can hinder or enable learning, education and outcomes; 
• The ERICC Conceptual Framework helps users to critically identify and analyse the conditions within which educational processes take place and which affect children’s holistic outcomes, and social-level outcomes to conduct systematic evidence reviews, evidence building and evidence based decision-making;
• Research methods approach for generating evidence that serve different purposes in a systematic and rigorous way.
