Here, we propose a methodology to support various stakeholders in quantifying the impact of disaster management policies on education continuity in low- and lower-middle-income countries. We then apply the proposed methodology to a hypothetical earthquake scenario impacting a testbed education infrastructure in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This case study accounts for local practice influencing recovery through interviews with stakeholders involved in post-disaster management in the region. The analyses reveal that early response financing mechanisms can help speed up education recovery by a factor of three. Also, community-managed school reconstruction projects are likely to be completed up to three to five times faster than agency-managed projects. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the framework can be used to prioritize school reconstruction projects to ensure inclusive education continuity at the community level. date: 2024-01-05 date_type: published publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-42407-y oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2139877 doi: 10.1038/s41467-023-42407-y medium: Electronic pii: 10.1038/s41467-023-42407-y lyricists_name: Galasso, Carmine lyricists_name: Opabola, Eyitayo Ademola lyricists_id: CGALA33 lyricists_id: EOPAB27 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: [UK Resarch and Innovation] full_text_status: public publication: Nature Communications volume: 15 number: 1 article_number: 325 event_location: England citation: Opabola, EA; Galasso, C; (2024) Informing disaster-risk management policies for education infrastructure using scenario-based recovery analyses.
