Learning Through Education and Access to Skills for Employment for Refugees and Host Communities

EF 2019-20 · 2019-12-23

Résumé
This project aims to empower adolescent girls and young women in the Kalobeyei settlement and the Kakuma refugee camp, and host communities of the Turkana district of Kenya. The project works to improve the enrolment and retention of girls in upper primary and secondary school levels in Kalobeyei and surrounding communities, and to provide gender responsive job market-based skills training in Kalobeyei and Kakuma. The project works towards building girl-friendly school environments, providing targeted learning support to adolescent girls and young women, and generating parent and community support for girls’ education. Project activities include: (1) improving the pedagogical skills of approximately 180 teachers in 15 schools (8 host and 7 refugee) to ensure that lessons are planned and delivered in a quality, gender-responsive and inclusive manner, and in a safe classroom environment; (2) providing remedial lessons that provide additional study time to approximately 2,800 adolescent girls and young women at risk of dropping out due to poor performance; (3) engaging parents, community (particularly men and boys), and religious leaders to foster safe and supportive environments for girls’ education and to mitigate the risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV); (4) delivering multi-media campaign on gender equitable participation in skills training and trades; and (5) supporting young women through mentorship programs that support life-skills. It is expected that the project will directly benefit 6,515 girls, adolescent girls and young women (between the ages of 12 and 25) and, indirectly, 42,465 beneficiaries (including 6,798 boys enrolled within the targeted schools).

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à renofrcer l'autonomie des adolescentes et des jeunes femmes dans la colonie de Kalobeyei et le camp de réfugiés de Kakuma, ainsi que dans les communautés d'accueil du district de Turkana au Kenya. Le projet vise à améliorer la scolarisation et le maintien des filles dans les niveaux supérieurs de l'enseignement primaire et secondaire à Kalobeyei et dans les communautés environnantes, et à fournir une formation professionnelle adaptée aux besoins du marché du travail à Kalobeyei et à Kakuma. Le projet vise à créer des environnements scolaires adaptés aux filles, à fournir un soutien à l'apprentissage ciblé aux adolescentes et aux jeunes femmes, et à obtenir le soutien des parents et de la communauté pour l'éducation des filles. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) améliorer les compétences pédagogiques d'environ 180 enseignants dans 15 écoles (8 écoles d'accueil et 7 écoles de réfugiés) afin de garantir que les leçons sont planifiées et dispensées de manière qualitative, respectueuse de l'égalité des sexes et inclusive, et dans un environnement de classe sûr; 2) fournir des séances de récupération afin d’accorder plus de temps pour étudier à quelque 2 800 adolescentes et jeunes femmes qui risquent de décrocher en raison de leurs faibles résultats scolaires; 3) mobiliser les parents, la communauté (en particulier les hommes et les garçons) et les chefs religieux en vue de favoriser un cadre sûr et favorable pour l’éducation des filles et atténuer le risque de violence sexuelle et sexiste; 4) mener une campagne multimédia sur la participation équitable des sexes à la formation professionnelle et aux métiers; 5) soutenir les jeunes femmes par des programmes de mentorat qui favorisent l'acquisition de compétences pour la vie. On s’attend à ce que le projet bénéficie directement à 6 515 filles, adolescentes et jeunes femmes (de 12 à 25 ans) et indirectement à 42 465 bénéficiaires (dont 6 798 garçons inscrits dans les écoles ciblées).
