Technologies For Data Collection, Processing and Communication in Education in Emergencies

This paper, which was developed under the USAID Middle East Education Research, Training and Support (MEERS) program, attempts to fill the literature gap by identifying data technologies relevant to MENA and global EiE contexts and characterizing the advantages and disadvantages of using these technologies across the data life cycle. Based on experiences of the experts in these contexts, the study team proposes guiding principles to the continued use of technology in the EiE sector and develops recommended practices in data collection, processing, and communication.
