Pays /Région : Somalie

Code projet : SOM-17/3485/SA1/Ed/INGO/4672

Durée : 15/03/2017 // 15/11/2017

Présentation
To address the ongoing disruptions to schooling in Waajid due to the protracted drought conditions in the region, the project will address the immediate humanitarian needs for 1011 learners (587 boys and 424 girls) ; 50 teachers (25 male, 25 female) and 50 CEC members (30 male, 20 female) in 5 target schools. The project seeks to provide clean and safe water, sanitation facilities, teaching and learning materials as well as feeding programmes to improve access and retention in schools during emergencies. This will improve the well-being of the most vulnerable and at risk children contributing to life saving outcomes in the region. The project will also build the capacity of the Community Education Committees (CECs) to manage water resources in schools, the through training opportunities in the management of the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities that will be constructed/rehabilitated. Teacher incentives will be covered by the project to increase the number of available and motivated teachers to attend to the students. The project will run for 8 months (with no activities during the school break) and will promote sustainability by transferring knowledge and skills to manage community assets and ensure local ownership by encouraging active involvement of beneficiaries throughout the project cycle.
