Education Above All, through it global programme, Educate A Child, is partnering with Street Child in a multi-country project in West Africa to enrol 96,000 OOSC in quality primary education over the course of four years. The project targets OOSC in low-resource environments [in Liberia and Sierra Leone - 54,000 OOSC] and emergency context [in North Nigeria - 42,000 OOSC]. Specifically, the project in Northern Nigeria aims to reach and enrol into quality primary education children who are in conflict-affected areas, both host communities and refugees and/or internally displaced; while in Sierra Leone and Liberia the project will target children who reside in rural and urban communities, children with disabilities, and the overaged. These OOSC often grapple with social, economic, infrastructural and instructional obstacles.

The goals of the EFECT project will be achieved through several strategic interventions, which include community sensitisation; teacher training and support; cash transfers and incentivised savings schemes; construction of safe and secure classrooms and/or learning centres; and the recruitment of community teachers for the learning centres.
