The programmes’ education sector plans to expand its thematic areas of interventions and consequently requires identification of the current basic needs in the formal primary, non-formal and life skills education thematic areas. The outcome of the assessment will guide future support in education targeting the disadvantaged and marginalised groups in the three regions of Maroodi Jeeh, Togdheer and Sool regions. The following facts on the ground will be central to guiding the assessment survey.
