This is a technical guide for practitioners to support education during the COVID-19 pandemic in contexts that were fragile and/or crisis-affected before the pandemic. It provides guidance on how to respond to support wellbeing and learning opportunities during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic through planning new responses or modifying existing programmes. 

This technical note is structured around the INEE Minimum Standards for Education framework and links to suggested actions to help operationalise these. 

 It includes five sections: take care of yourself; coordinate your work; analyse the context; develop your activity plan; and review progress and quality.

The IASC Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for MHPSS Programmes was released for field test in 2017. In 2021, the Common Framework was updated to include qualitative and quantitative means of verification (MoV) for impact-level indicators in the framework. MHPSS.net developed the IASC MHPSS M&E Framework MoV toolkit to accompany the framework and serve as a resource to maintain and disseminate these tools in a single, easy to use format.
