This project is now complete.

From July 2022 to June 2023, despite significant security and financial challenges and rampant inflation,

the Project to Support a Multisectoral and Integrated Response to the Needs of Affected Populations in the Eastern Region has achieved its objectives by improving access to education and drinking water for populations affected by the crisis in the municipalities of Fada and Diapaga. It has also contributed to the mental well-being and resilience of the affected communities.

Our Impact Better Access to Education

The project has helped improve access to school for internally displaced students and vulnerable children in host communities by:

  • Creating emergency classrooms;
  • Building teachers’ capacity;
  • The organisation of remedial classes for school dropouts;
  • The distribution of school kits to vulnerable students;
  • Pre-vocational training for young people outside the school system;
  • A radio education programme for children deprived of education.

Hygiene and sanitation were also part of the project, including:

  • Providing schools with water collection and storage facilities;
  • The rehabilitation of boreholes and school latrines;
  • Hygiene training for communities and teachers to ensure the correct use of infrastructure.

Aminata 11 years old, internally displaced pupil

After my school closed, I didn’t go to school for 2 years. I couldn’t even do maths and conjugation. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to go back to school and I was really sad. Thanks to the refresher courses, I was able to return to a class that corresponded to my age and today I can continue my studies.
