  • Ensuring that children affected by displacement and crisis have access to safe and quality education;
  • Improving critical school and health infrastructure in the refugee camps and the host community;
  • Providing youth – particularly girls – with social and recreational activities as well as life skills training;
  • Working with local partners to ensure inclusion of persons with disabilities in the camp and the host community; and
  • Supporting
    the regional Ministry of Health with a range of health interventions,
    including disease outbreak, reproductive and mental health services.
