Somalia
Internally displaced persons (IDPS) face disruption in their education, till 2016, more than 366,000 had not been able to complete the education because they have to migrate due to internal conflicts and continuous drought. More than three million children in Somalia are out of school. When children make it to school, they are not able to benefit from it fully. Classrooms are overcrowded, water and sanitation facilities are inadequate, and trained teachers and school books are hard to come by.
Most of the NGOs are private and working on temporary grounds; lack of funds and un-friendly environment doesn’t allow them to work on long-term basis. Concern Worldwide has been working on the European Union-funded Durable Solutions Project. The organization is working with the ministry of education to improve education and hygiene facilities in schools in the South West State of Baidoa.
