completed

The aim of the FC measure is to contribute to reducing the high number of children and young people without access to formal education and to strengthen the rights and protection of vulnerable children and young people, particularly those with a migrant background. The recipient and project sponsor of the measure is the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The project consists of three integrated components: 1) improving access to basic social services by building infrastructure, 2) increasing the quality standards of services offered by establishing and conducting various training courses, and 3) strengthening project-specific knowledge management (including conducting baseline studies, developing training materials for children to prevent abduction, kidnapping, and human trafficking). The measures include infrastructure and material benefits as well as continuing education offers. The FC funding contribution is EUR 6.0 million for an implementation period of 18 months.
