Non-formal basic education and vocational skills training for children and youth at risk

Duration: February 2002– January 2005
Budget: US$609,248
Implementing Agencies: UNESCO

The objective of the programme was to support vulnerable children and at-risk youth who had dropped out of school and were engaged in informal activities, making them easy targets for criminal gangs and sexual exploitation. Through a network of organizations, a variety of activities were implemented to re-integrate those at risk into formal channels of education and daily life.
