Key Information

The general objective is to support the government and decentralized structures as well as implementation partners, in close cooperation with the GLPE and the Education Cluster, in order to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all Central African children, by putting emphasis on the most vulnerable and the areas most sensitive to contamination. Dissemination is carried out of key awareness messages during the period of school closures, then for the back to school campaign (back to school 2020-2021), with a strong emphasis on the importance of girls' education, in close collaboration with the C4D program.
