The programme to improve school coverage on the Ganguel Plateau led by AMADE aims to provide children and particularly girls from the Ganguel Plateau with school infrastructure and equipment to help offset the lack of local schools, defective state of some schools and furniture. Everything that can strengthen the offering of educational service will reduce drop-out rates, and specifically increase girls' access to school.
The partnership with SOS SAHEL aims to finish the construction work and improve the learning conditions for children by enabling access to sanitation facilities.
This project focuses on the catalysts to ensure the effective and efficient participation of all actors (engagement of the management committee and the community), the quality monitoring system (by establishing a technical committee)
and community action for behaviour change (commitment of religious and community leaders).
Particular emphasis is placed on the project sustainability and the monitoring of quantitative and qualitative indicators to measure its impact.
