Last in Line, Last in School (Save the Children/UNESCO)

The 2009 edition (3rd edition) of Last in Line, Last in School finds that although donors have increased their focus on meeting the education needs of children living in conflict-affected fragile states (CAFS), there is still a long way to go.
Education plays a crucial role in recovery and development. Despite being home to 40 million out-of-school children, CAFS received just over a quarter – $1.2 billion – of basic education aid between 2005 and 2007. This is well below the estimated the estimated $5.2bn required annually to achieve universal primary education in these countries according to Save the Children.
