The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to USAID missions, other donors, and implementing organizations operating in crisis and conflict-affected environments for the development of project indicators and metrics to measure equity of access to educational opportunities. Although this document uses terminology that is current within the framework of collaboration between USAID missions and their implementing partners (IPs), the overall guidance for indicator development should be broadly relevant and applicable among other agencies, donors and organizations.

This is an active spreadsheet of the matrix of program interventions in crisis and conflict-affected contexts developed to inform the Education Equity Indicators for Access guidance that constitutes a more detailed and sortable matrix, including references to available studies on the interventions. The matrix indicates which intervention or set of interventions are most suited to targeting and promoting school access and/or retention among the specific population sub-group(s) most likely to include out-of-school children. The matrix can inform project designers’ selection of specific interventions based on the context-specific equity dimensions, barriers, and zones of exclusion that the project has identified.

This presentation was presented as part of the panel, The Equity Initiative: Expanding Access to Quality Pre-Primary Education Opportunities: Using Data and Research to Document Inequity, at CIES 2018.
The MICS survey, conducted by UNICEF, addresses data on children and families through the national administration of household surveys. The MICS team recently decided to expand its global education database to cover the attendance of children one year before primary education, to meet the data monitoring needs in the context of SDG4 and to fill the above-mentioned global data gap in access to pre-primary education with an equity focus. This paper will report on new data on pre-primary enrollment, produced by incorporating data from the Multi-Cluster Indicator Surveys (MICS) and Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) from 2010 to 2015.
