Whilst the WASH component of the project will as well facilitate gender sensitive emergency latrines and showers construction/Rehabilitation and Hygiene awareness and behavior change. To achieve this, Salient will ensure close collaboration with the decentralized services of basic education in Borno and Adamawa State, to ensure a conflict-sensitive approach while ensuring respect for Do No Harm principles. The projects result will be achieved through activity packages aimed at strengthening the capacity of education activities at the community level and ensuring the protection of children and adolescents. To ensure a consistent and comprehensive response, the project will be developed through the prisms of gender and conflict mitigation, which are two concomitant perspectives to the dissemination of the principles of protection in the project. Protection principles will be mainstreamed across the intervention by prioritizing safety and dignity as well as ensuring meaningful access, participation, and empowerment.

 The Objectives of this project will be focused on the combination of two of the innovation pilot project Objectives, aimed at improving:
	Community engagement through improvements to Accountability to affected populations and 
	Disability participation, dignity and protection.
To achieve this, SHO response and intervention strategy will focus on increasing access to informal and vocational skills opportunities required to address the multifaceted learning needs of children who have had years of disrupted learning: catch-up classes, accelerated learning programs, vocational skills training, mental health and psychosocial support services (MHPSS), and pathways back to inclusive age-appropriate levels of formal education. This response will prioritize the most deprived population groups, in particular those in areas with high severity of inter-sectoral needs, and where learning facilities and educational thematic areas are disproportionately underserved. The target population will be out of school children. Children living in communities or displacement sites where there are few or no available education services will be prioritized. 
Formal schools that accommodate displaced students, through staged returns or bridging classes, will be supported to provide conducive learning environments.
The areas and locations that will be targeted for this Innovation activities will be Ngala, Bama (Borno State) and Mubi North of Adamawa State Targeting 2500 children.
