Background and justification

While the regions of South West and North West, but also the North and Far North are affected by a growing humanitarian crisis caused by the insecurity that has prevailed there since 2016, the organisation Repères Educatifs wishes to set up an action allowing the majority of young people to continue their academic training without fear of the horrors of insecurity. In this perspective, Repères Educatifs has been associated with all the organizations that participate in the work of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) in order to contribute to the support of the populations.

It is within this framework that the Supportive Digital School (SDS) project for South West and North West region was planned. This project aims to encourage children and young people in regions that are unstable or have no material possibility to pursue their academic and vocational training using alternative means with the support of education partners.

There is therefore a need for information and mobilization of the populations in the regions concerned in order to promote schooling or help students to back to school.
