8.4 Mobilising education supplies<br />
Education supplies <strong>and</strong> equipment are needed to meet the cognitive,<br />
psychosocial, <strong>and</strong> developmental needs of children in emergencies. The quantity<br />
of supplies required will depend on the scale <strong>and</strong> nature of the emergency <strong>and</strong><br />
the extent of damage to existing schools <strong>and</strong> to teaching <strong>and</strong> learning materials<br />
<strong>and</strong> equipment.<br />
This section sets out the main considerations for the Coordinator <strong>and</strong> cluster<br />
partners in achieving a coordinated approach to the supply <strong>and</strong> distribution of<br />
education supplies. The main stages in the supply <strong>and</strong> distribution of<br />
education supplies are set out in the diagram below:<br />
