Support to the Education Sector’s Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Sudan

This project supports the Sudan Ministry of Education’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and works to strengthen and contribute to the preparations for safe school re-openings. This project also works to direct funding to areas of the country with the highest numbers of refugee and migrant children and the highest needs for education and protection support. Project activities include: (1) providing training to teachers on COVID-19 awareness well-being psychosocial support and teaching pedagogy; and (2) rehabilitating classrooms and schools with a focus on ensuring gender-sensitive water and sanitation facilities.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved equitable access to safe gender-sensitive and conducive learning environments with safe drinking water washing units and functioning sanitation facilities; and (2) improved capacity of teachers and adolescents to ensure the safe operations in schools within the COVID-19 context.
