Description:
P007015001 & P007015002: The project seeks to improve schooling for children and adolescents aged 4 to 15 years, including those living with a disability, with a special focus on girls. The project targets areas affected by humanitarian crises in Cameroon’s Far North, Littoral and West regions. Project activities are aimed at those whose access to education has been severely limited by a crisis, particularly children and adolescents who have been displaced and repatriated, and those who have become refugees.
Project activities include the following:
1) train 101 education and child protection workers on gender equality, on the rights of girls and on the rights of children living with a disability; 2) train education stakeholders on how to integrate out-of-school children into education systems, particularly girls and children living with a disability; 3) develop and implement gender- and inclusion-sensitive school improvement plans, including the construction of latrines adapted to the specific needs of adolescent girls and children with a physical disability; and 4) train 1,344 teachers on themes related to education in emergencies, gender-based violence in schools, special education and gender-sensitive teaching practices.
The project seeks to increase the enrolment rate of girls in the targeted areas, directly affecting 77,200 girls and 2,100 children living with a disability. Boys also benefit from access to quality education.
