Dr Unni Krishnan; Global Humanitarian Director; Plan International
The long-term consequences of COVID-19 have been tough for children around
the world, but even more so for young children already in humanitarian crisis,
whether due to conflict, natural disasters, or economic and political upheaval.
This book investigates how organizations around the world responded to these
dual challenges, identifying solutions, and learning opportunities to help to support
young children in ongoing and future crises. Drawing on research and voices from
the Global South, this book showcases innovations to mobilize new funds and re
allocate existing resources to protect children during the pandemic. It provides
important evidence on understudied and overlooked vulnerable populations, recog
nizing that researchers from the Global South are best positioned to fill these
research gaps, contextualize findings, and support the uptake and adoption of
recommendations by local decision-makers and practitioners in those same contexts.
The findings in this book will be important for practitioners, policy makers
and donors working in or interested in humanitarian contexts, on early child
hood development, or early childhood education. The book will also be useful
to students and researchers working in these fields.
