ABOUT THE
ERICC HELPDESK

Our objective is to ensure that decision-makers can access and use relevant evidence to strengthen education policies and programmes for Education in Emergencies. 

Our Roster of Experts

Our Helpdesk brings together over 50 highly skilled experts and senior researchers from the International Rescue Committee (IRC), partner organisations across the ERICC consortium, and external expert consultants. Together, they represent a unique blend of technical, research, and policy expertise grounded in extensive experience in education in crisis and protracted conflict contexts.

Spanning more than 40 topic areas and based in over 15 countries, our roster includes both local and international specialists with deep contextual knowledge across ERICC focal countries and beyond. Education practitioners provide specialised technical and programmatic support, while researchers and academics contribute rigorous qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method expertise. Across all services, our team delivers evidence-based guidance, strengthens and scales programmes, and supports informed decision-making with globally informed and locally grounded perspectives.

ERICC Research Programme Consortium

The Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC) programme also hosts the ERICC research consortium which is building an evidence base to support education systems strengthening, and ultimately support children’s holistic learning and development in conflict and crisis.
