Announces US$4.1 Million First Emergency Response Grant in Uganda: Total ECW Funding in Uganda Tops US$76 Million
Summary
About Education Cannot Wait (ECW): Education Cannot Wait (ECW) is the United Nations global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises. We support quality education outcomes for refugee, internally displaced and other crisis-affected girls and boys, so no one is left behind. ECW works through the multilateral system to both increase the speed of responses in crises and connect immediate relief and longer-term interventions through multi-year programming. ECW works in close partnership with governments, public and private donors, UN agencies, civil society organizations, and other humanitarian and development aid actors to increase efficiencies and end siloed responses. ECW urgently appeals to public and private sector donors for expanded support to reach even more vulnerable children and youth.On Twitter, please follow: @EduCannotWait, @YasmineSherif1, @KentPage Additional information available at: www.educationcannotwait.org For press inquiries: Anouk Desgroseilliers, adesgroseilliers@un-ecw.org, +1-917-640-6820 Kent Page, kpage@unicef.org, +1-917-302-1735 For other inquiries: info@un-ecw.org
