Project Brief
The project is being implemented by Swisscontact over a five‑year period from 2023 to 2028. It aims to enhance teachers’ capacity through targeted training, address health and hygiene issues—particularly for female students—and provide logistical support to schools to increase student participation in sports and extracurricular activities. In addition, the project focuses on capacity development and employment opportunities for local youth, promotes cooperative governance and micro‑savings, addresses community health challenges, and advances environmental conservation while exploring innovative solutions to meet local needs.
The project is implemented through six key components: Education, Skills Development, Health, Cooperative Governance, Environment and Community Safety, and Technology Innovation
The Environment and Community Safety component of the Project focuses on promoting environmental sustainability and strengthening community resilience. Aligned with the project’s commitment to environmental protection, this component implements targeted interventions that support ecological balance while empowering communities to safeguard their surroundings.
