Germany has announced a new contribution of 15 million euros to UNICEF Nigeria to support the provision of quality and equitable basic education and strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable communities, especially children, in Adamawa and Yobe states.<\/p>\n

Provided through the German government\u2019s development bank – Kreditanstalt f\u00fcr Wiederaufbau (KfW), this\u00a0 new contribution will enable UNICEF to support the Government of Nigeria to provide 1,060,000 conflict-affected children and adolescents with increased access to quality education in a safe and healthy learning environment.<\/p>\n

It will also provide 8,200 teachers with increased capacity to deliver quality learning at pre-primary and primary levels and support 500 school-based management committees to plan and maintain a safe and healthy learning environment in schools, with increased community participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll children, regardless of their situation, must be supported to access all their basic rights.<\/p>\n

Investing in education is perhaps the best investment any nation can make for its children,\u201d said UNICEF’s representative, Mohamed Fall. \u201cThis investment is timely, as it comes at a moment when we are redoubling our efforts to improve both access and quality of education for conflict-affected children.\u201d<\/p>

The KfW contribution will also support UNICEF\u2019s work to link humanitarian needs and long-term development opportunities in target conflict-affected communities in north-east Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The German government is a long-standing partner of UNICEF Nigeria, having contributed over 21 million euros towards the humanitarian and development response in Nigeria since 2016.<\/p>\n

According to UNICEF, prior to the ongoing insurgency, the North East had the highest percentage (52 per cent) of children who never attended schools, with at least 17.1 per cent in Adamawa state and 73 per cent in Yobe state.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the North East had the highest children drop-out rates, at 3.2 per cent (4.4 for Adamawa and 1.6 for Yobe). The current situation shows a decline in the total number of schools by 22 per cent and a decline in total enrolment by 38 per cent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
