Project Description
The goal of the Schooling and Skills for Development Program is to improve enrollment rates and job skills in northern Haiti and in the Bamako San and Bandiagara regions of Mali. The program aims to strengthen formal and informal education systems and micro-enterprises. It particularly focuses on increasing access to education in countries where the population exceeds school capacity. By building classrooms and training centers the program contributes to closing infrastructure gaps and addressing security issues. Local partners' capacities are strengthened in order to contribute to the sustainability of all interventions. Program objectives also include gender equality in school achievements and professional development of teachers as well as greater participation of the local population in protecting their environment.
