Save the Children has received funding support from SIDA to implement project called “Support for education and successful transitions among vulnerable children in South Sudan”. This multi-year award aims to integrate education, and child protection into holistic program to increase the impact for girls, boys, women, and men in targeted areas to achieve lasting changes for children. Save the Children will implement project interventions in close collaboration with national partners and technical partners to achieve results under specific cross-sectoral and sub-thematic areas.
In this project, Save the Children will work with partners to ensure that girls and boys learn in a safe environment, are protected against violence; and their rights implemented. The main component of the program is education. The program will implement interventions in, around 35 schools, and 10 youth drop-in centres in Bor South, Kapoeta North, Kapoeta South, Kapoeta East and Magwi targets girls and boys, aged 6-18. There is a focus on the most deprived children, who in the South Sudanese context include children with disabilities (CwD), out-of-school children and teenage mothers. As social and cultural norms weigh heavily against girls, a gender-sensitive and inclusion lens is mainstreamed throughout interventions. Integral to the program is participation and buy-in from community and traditional leaders, school management, teachers, and parents.
