BACKGROUND

When fighting broke out in Mali in 2012, thousands of people fled the country and crossed into neighbouring countries. Thousands crossed into Niger, 80% of them being women and children. These children required among other assistance, urgent access to education. Being nomads or pastoralist life, they had mostly not attended school previously so the baseline for enrolment rates was low. UNHCR coordinated efforts to build schools in Abala, Mangaize and Tabareybarey camps and later in two “Refugee Hosting Areas” in Intikane and Tazalite.
School started in the 2012-2013 academic year but owing to a number of constraints, it did not take off until late 2012 and beginning 2013.
