SFD Bildung im ländlichen Raum SFD Education in rural areas Das FZ-Vorhaben SFD - Bildung im ländlichen Raum stellt eine Fortsetzung des deutschen Engagements im jemenitischen Bildungssektor dar und setzt die 2003 begonnene Unterstützung des jemenitischen Social Fund for Development (SFD) fort. Der SFD finanziert im Rahmen der staatlichen Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik landesweit Maßnahmen zur Rehabilitierung und Erweiterung der sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Infrastruktur in Armutsgebieten. Die Verwendung der FZ-Mittel ist ausschließlich für SFD-Bildungsprojekte vorgesehen. Das FZ-Vorhaben umfasst die Erweiterung, Rehabilitierung und den bedarfsorientierten Neubau von Grund- und Sekundarschulen in ländlichen Gemeinden des Jemen. Zusätzlich führt der SFD Maßnahmen zur Fortbildung von Lehrpersonal und der Sensibilisierung der Zielbevölkerung im Hinblick auf Mädcheneinschulung durch. Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist es so, Zugang und Nutzung von Grund- und Sekundarschulen im ländlichen Raum zu erhöhen. Zielgruppe sind Schülerinnen und Schüler der Klasse 1 bis 9 im Programmgebiet. Wir gehen davon aus, dass in der 1. Phase rd. 5.500 Kinder unmittelbar von der FZ-Maßnahme profitieren werden. Somit leistet das Vorhaben einen unmittelbaren Beitrag zum Gesamtziel der deutschen bilateralen EZ im Bildungssektor, das die Ziele der nationalen Strategien für Grund- und Sekundarbildung zusammenfasst: Kinder und Jugendliche erhalten und nutzen den Zugang zu einem angemessenen Bildungsangebot in Grund- und Sekundarbildung. The FC project SFD - Education in Rural Areas represents a continuation of the German commitment in the Yemeni education sector and continues the support of the Yemeni Social Fund for Development (SFD) that began in 2003. As part of the national economic and social policy, the SFD finances nationwide measures to rehabilitate and expand the social and economic infrastructure in poor areas. The FC funds are to be used exclusively for SFD education projects. The FC project comprises the expansion, rehabilitation and demand-oriented construction of primary and secondary schools in rural communities in Yemen. In addition, the SFD carries out measures to train teaching staff and raise awareness among the target population with regard to enrolment of girls. The objective of the FC measure is thus to increase access to and use of primary and secondary schools in rural areas. The target group are pupils from grades 1 to 9 in the programme area. We assume that in Phase 1 around 5,500 children will benefit directly from the FC measure. Thus, the project makes a direct contribution to the overall objective of German bilateral DC in the education sector, which summarises the objectives of the national strategies for primary and secondary education: Children and young people receive and use access to an appropriate range of education in primary and secondary education. In a first phase, we propose to co-finance the SFD education programme in the amount of EUR 5.5 million (FC grant). The Yemeni government's own contribution amounts to around EUR 0.55 million. A second phase with an additional EUR 10 million of FC financing (inventory control share) can be implemented in parallel from 2015. Each of the two phases is in itself a completed project that makes sense in developmental terms. Kinder, insbesondere Mädchen, nutzen den erweiterten Zugang zu voll funktionalen öffentlichen Schulen in ländlichen Gebieten.
