Study The new UNICEF MENA study Economic Loss from School Dropout dueto the Syria Crisis A CostshyBenefit Analysis of the Impact of the Syria Crisison the Education Sector estimates that the total economic loss due todropout from basic and secondary education as of 2012 is US$107billion
The study captures the current picture of the economic loss and gaugesthe magnitude of rebuilding the education sector The findings emphasizethe importance of providing access to education for children duringemergencies and transitional periods of war and conflict There is aserious gap between the benefits that education could bring to the Syrianeconomy and society and the actual funding that the education sector andcluster receive from the international community The study suggests thatthe benefit of bringing children back to school in the long run might beseriously underestimated among donors and stakeholders It is hoped that
the findings will contribute to raising funds and that the methodology of the analysis is applied to otheremergencies

Adaptive Management Youth Livelihoods and Feedback LoopsUSAID ECCN
Development aid has been for the most part ineffective inproviding effective youth training andsecure employment inconflictshyaffected contexts Education such as TVETAccelerated Education and Apprenticeships have raisedexpectations but have frequently failed to link youth tosustainable and meaningful jobs These programs typicallyoffering a one size fits all leave youth with skills for whichthere is little demand in the actual mostly nonshyformaleconomy
Enter a program that reflects Adaptive Management and Feedback Loops
Mercy Corpsrsquo PROSPECTS does it differently First a detailed baseline assessment found that mostyouth have complex and multiple means of getting some income they have unique and different needsand paths to livelihoods So rather than a one size fits all training program PROSPECTS createsOpportunity Centers for some 8000 urban youth operating like a cafeteria with different services suchas counseling job links training options and access to equity for enterprise PROSPECTS then tracksyouth experience with realshytime feedback loops showing who uses what services with what outcomesIn short the project designs manages and evaluates the program like a good health service center or aresponsive gym producing evidence and data that shape its services and effectiveness The power offeedback loops here is not to control changes in youth behavior but to give that control to them
