Rapid Response Mechanisms (RRM) are “a programmatic and operational approach to respond to the acute needs of vulnerable populations”. While the RRM has been successfully rolled out in many contexts and for multiple sectors, the modality to ensure that children in these situations have rapid access to education is still being developed. The Global Education Cluster (GEC) has developed an Action to address this, aiming to support current and future RRMs to systematically include quality education responses. To inform the initial planning phases of this action, REACH conducted a mapping of RRMs globally. There are two primary objectives of this mapping: firstly to consolidate key information on the framework, operation and coordination of individual RRMs, and secondly to obtain feedback and input from key stakeholders and those experienced with RRMs on the inclusion or increasing role of education in rapid response.
