1.4a.17 UMCOR

UMCOR’s proposed project aims to increase access to and utilization of integrated Education, Water Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) services in Aweil North and Aweil South with high numbers of returnees. UMCOR will build on its current on-going BSF funded grant in Aweil South as well as expand basic education and WASH services to vulnerable communities in additional target payams in both Aweil South and Aweil North. Providing integrated Education and WASH services will not only improve the learning environment but also increase student enrolment and retention, most specifically girls’ retention through upper primary classes. Key targets are construction and equipping of classroom and administration blocks, in-service training (1 out of the 3 stages), capacity building in Water and Sanitation sector in the community and the county departments.
