Published purpose

The project aimed to improve the quality of services provided to young people in East Sudan and South Sudan and increase their participation in society. In East Sudan, the project addressed child protection issues with an emphasis on access to education, preventing gender-based violence, and increasing birth registration. The project took a holistic approach to child protection by working with parents and communities. In South Sudan, the focus of the project was on technical and vocational training, to generate employment opportunities for young people. Both components of the project aimed to increase institutional and community capacity to support good governance, economic and social reconstruction, and reintegration in South and East Sudan, as well as taking gender differences into account in providing support to young people.
