UK is the only donor that has published detailed information about multi-year funding commitments to both the Lebanese and Jordanian governments’ education plans.

More detailed, comprehensive information on education aid is needed to assess whether donors have met their own pledges and provided aid in a timely way, and whether the activities being funded address key obstacles that are hampering the realization of the right to education for hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugee children. Donors, implementing agencies, and host governments need to know what programs are being funded in order to coordinate their efforts effectively and avoid gaps or overlaps in aid.

Thousands of Uyghurs have been subjected to ‘political re-education’, not because they have done anything wrong, but because they are deemed ‘politically unreliable’.

 In the past, Chinese authorities have imprisoned Uyghur scholars and journalists who right about the true history of East Turkestan and the current situation there, to silence any dissenting voices. This latest campaign seeks to build on this by forcing a false historical narrative on the population of East Turkestan in attempt to brainwash them, establish greater control over the region and undermine any claims to greater self-determination.
