Plan International UK: BRiCE Regional Sharing event

14.12.22: David Lefor from Samuel Hall recently had the opportunity to share final evaluation findings and recommendations from the EU-funded BRiCE project, “Safe and Quality Education for Girls and Boys in Displacement Situations in Ethiopia and Somalia,” in collaboration with Plan International and Relief International, along with its research consortium of the University of Sussex, Gambella University and Puntland Development Research Centre. 

The BRiCE project,  a 4-year project in Puntland, Somalia and Gambella, Ethiopia,  aimed to improve access to safe, quality pre-school and primary education by engaging communities, duty-bearers and children themselves through a wide range of activities including the development of professional codes of conduct and safeguarding policies, developing skills among teachers, government officials, and students, and equipping schools with resources. It also aimed to strengthen data collection and build an evidence base on effective approaches and pathways to enhance safe, quality education in fragile and conflict-affected settings. 

The BRiCE project regional sharing event acted as a space to share findings and recommendations from the project with local governments, donors, NGOs, CSOs and international organisations.
