emergencies, and $8.3 million from the Global Partnership for Education. Major foreign donations for education include $19.2 million from Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Foundation, $10 million from KFW (the German state development bank), and $8.2 million from Canada.?73 The US reported giving several multi-million dollar grants to UNICEF's response to the Rohingya humanitarian crisis, and the UK reported that part of a September 2019 grant of £87 million would support education.274 Insufficient Donor Funding for the Humanitarian Education Sector Donor funding for education for Rohingya children in Bangladesh is linked to the UN- coordinated Joint Response Plans for the Rohingya Humanitarian Emergency, which reflect the annual funding needs of UN agencies and NGO implementing partners for education programs as well as programs to address shelter, food, health, water and sanitation, protection, and other humanitarian needs. Education needs, as budgeted under the UN- coordinated Joint Response Plan (JRP), were not fully funded in 2018 or 2019.275 The education appeal reflected in the JRP was 4o percent funded as of October 7, 2019.76 The education budget in the JRP may not reflect the full amount of funding actually needed to support Rohingya children’s access to education.277 Staff at two humanitarian NGOs with education programs said that the 2018 JRP education budget was too low, because it was determined in a way that required them to shrink their programming in order to fit within the overall education budget, rather than adding up each NGOs’ education programs to as 273 UNESCO, Education for Rohingya Refugees and Host Communities in Bangladesh: Education Cannot Wait Facilitated Multi-Year Resilience Programme 2018-2020, p. 22, http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/FIELD/Dhaka/pdf/EDU/ECW_MYRP_Bangladesh_2018.pdf (accessed July 17, 2019), 274 US AID Foreign Aid Explorer, explorer.usaid.gov, Bangladesh, Fiscal Year 2018, accessed November 5, 2019; British High Commission Dhaka, “UK announces extra 87 million funding for Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh,” September 22, 2019, https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-announces-extra-87-million-funding-for-rohingya-crisis-in-bangladesh, accessed November 5, 2019. 275 2019 Joint Response Plan for the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis, January-December, p. 89. 276 Cox’s Bazar Education Sector: Dashboard, October 7, 2019, https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/190929_edsector_5w_ma.pdf (accessed November 9, 2019). 277 For example, the two largest education actors in the JRP are UNICEF, with an education budget of $34 million, and UNHCR, with a $12.3 million budget under the plan. However, these two agencies’ own funding requests for education in 2019 are substantially larger than what is reflected in the JRP: UNICEF’s 2019 education budget is $49 million, while UNHCR’s is $26.9 million.
