Life-Saving Response to Address Increasing Needs of Education and Protection in Al Ja’Fariyyah in Raymah Under 1st Pillar ltpgtThis project aligns fully with the first pillar of OCHA's strategy, as it seeks to offer a protection-centered and inclusive response through a multi-sectoral approach covering Al Ja'fariyyah in Raymah. It provides a diverse range of a series of activities based on a field needs assessment conducted in July- that contribute to education, protection, and child protection while reducing negative coping mechanisms, and negative health outcomes, and improving resilience.ltbrgtBefore commencing any activities, necessary coordination will be maintained with all stakeholders including the governmental authorities at the central level in Sana'a and the local level in Raymah, specifically Al Ja’fariyyah, by getting all required permits and relevant data. Only then, the project team will start to work in the locations of the project immediately. ltbrgtThe Committed Teachers 6-month Cash Incentive activity seeks to recognize the dedication of 69 fixed and volunteer teachers and administrators who attend school regularly.
