Other Title InformationHow a combination of systemic and bottom-up changes in educational services can empower dryland communities in Africa and Central Asia
LanguageENG
AuthorPinxteren, Bert van (et. al)
Summary / Abstract (Note)We examined existing problems relevant for education in global drylands and discuss their potential solutions in four fields, crucial for properly functioning educational systems: (a) response to low population densities, (b) governance, (c) language of instruction and (d) mismatch between education and the labour market. Our analysis leads us to the formulation of nine policy recommendations that may help create an educational system that strengthens resilience of dryland communities in the face of ongoing climate change. Our recommendations underline the necessity to combine systemic solutions with bottom-up ideas and extrinsic help coming from involvement of diaspora and non-governmental organizations.
