INTEGRATED
EDUCATION &
WORK PROGRAM

Shield Refugee Initiative works to increase access to quality education for all children, particularly girls living in fragile and conflict-affected settings.

Our programs provide tailored solutions for youth to acquire market-aligned skills, creating opportunities for transition into livelihoods and employment. Our integrated approach is based on extensive research on what works to increase learning outcomes and income levels. Our education work is designed to contribute to stabilization and economic growth.

We put children and youth at the center of our programs and build a supportive environment for them in the community and at school. At the individual level, SRI supports children and youth to develop academic competencies and life skills, raising their confidence and ability to engage in further education and work. At the community level, we work with parents and community members to increase support for education and active participation in school. We work with Ministries of Education and school staff to improve the quality of teaching, strengthen supervisory capacity, support policy development, and strengthen system efficiency through better budgeting.
