| Objetivos | The overall goal is to provide access to quality education in a safe learning environment, in particular for the most vulnerable in diverse neighbourhoods heavily affected by the blast. |
| Grupos destinarios | The vulnerable population of the neighbourhoods that were most affected by the blast. |
| Efectos a medio plazo | The expected outcome is the rehabilitation and renovation of around 15 schools in the neighbourhoods most affected by the 4th of August blast. |
| Resultados |
Resultados previstos: The activities planned are construction works to rehabilitate and renovate the selected schools. Resultados de las fases anteriores: The intervention focues on public schools. The selection of the schools was based on rapid visits of over 40 schools by the SET-team construction experts as well as the assessments undertaken by UNICEF and the Syndicate of Engineers, under the coordination of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE). In addition, selection of the schools was undertaken according to the following criteria: a) level of damage and related scope of work; b) an equitable distribution amongst neighborhoods (religious and cultural); c) schools that serve vulnerable populations, in particular “double shifts” that allow Syrian refugees or all-girl schools. |
