The project aims to improve the protection and well-being of more than 70,000 of the most vulnerable children in the Kayes, Mopti and Sikasso regions. It seeks to improve the effectiveness of child protection systems in more than 200 communities and to increase the capacity of decision-makers and local actors to ensure better respect for children's rights. The project places particular emphasis on children affected by conflict and harmful traditional practices such as early marriage, difficult working conditions in traditional gold mines and begging. Project activities include: (1) training 6,000 stakeholders in the use of the Child Protection Information System (SIPRE) to strengthen protection systems (police, judges, teachers, etc.); (2) training of more than 1,000 decision-makers and community leaders on the importance of child protection and the risks associated with harmful practices and exploitation, particularly those targeting girls; (3) training of 600 community instructors (50% of whom are women) and 300 teachers, to help children improve their ability to make decisions and express themselves on the choices that affect them; (4) providing school supplies for 6,000 children and the rehabilitation of 100 classrooms, 25 play spaces and 3 buildings (taking into account the specific needs of girls) to promote better access to basic social services; and (5) strengthening local structures for psychosocial and recreational support services through sport and play for the rehabilitation, reintegration and guidance of children.
