  and multipurpose solar-powered water infrastructure projects for domestic users and 
  
  farmers, and livestock projects throughout the area. A food-for-education programme 
  
  supported meals for 22,000 schoolchildren in 30 primary and secondary schools in 
  
  southern and central Abyei. The Education on Air activity, initiated in response to the 
  
  pandemic, continued to be broadcast through Abyei FM radio for pupils. Protection, in 
  
  particular of children, and against gender-based violence, remained the key challenge 
  
  because of limited resources and capacities on the ground. The aid community 
  
  reactivated the protection working group and its subgroups concerning sexual and 
  
  gender-based violence, child protection and mine action, in order to address protection 
  
  needs in a more coordinated manner jointly with the community and UNISFA.
