NEC is a joint forum for National and International non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and community service providers delivering education services in South Sudan. NEC’s central aim is to voice and to address pressing educational priorities/challenges within the context of South Sudan and to recommend pertinent mitigation measures that feed into the Education Donor Coordination Group, the National Education Forum (NEF), the General Education Annual Review and the National Education Budget meetings. If deemed necessary NEC can also relay any critical issue to Steering Committee or Joint Programmes Operating Group in their sessions,
