Abstract	In 2015, one in every two primary aged refugee child was missing out on primary education, and three in every four had no access to secondary education. The five least developed countries in the list of top 10 refugee hosting countries in the world in 2016 were all Global Partnership for Education (GPE) partners: Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, Pakistan, and Uganda. The GPE is strongly committed to addressing this crisis. GPE 2020, the partnership's new strategic plan, makes support for countries affected by fragility and conflict a focus over the next five years. GPE's support to these countries continues to increase. GPE's approach to countries affected by fragility and conflict begins with the allocation of GPE financing, using an eligibility and allocation framework that places an emphasis on low- and lower-middle-income countries with high levels of out-of-school children. It specifically weights allocations toward countries affected by fragility and conflict. Highlights include: (1) 31 GPE developing countries partners are classified as countries affected by fragility and conflict; (2) 11 transitional education plans were implemented with GPE support between 2012 and December 2017; and (3) 4 countries (Central African Republic, Chad, Somalia and Somaliland, and Yemen) have received accelerated funding, totaling close to US$24 million. GPE has provided a foundation for coordination and dialogue among development and humanitarian actors in countries as diverse as Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. Through its "Operational Framework for Effective Support in Fragile and Conflict-affected States," and its "Guidelines for Accelerated Support in Emergency and Early Recovery Situations," GPE has successfully promoted coordinated decisions about efficient and best use of resources in crisis settings, such as shifting them to nongovernmental providers for direct service provision during acute crises.
