This action was submitted through the GFMD Mayors Mechanism Call to Local Action for Migrants and Refugees.

The main challenge to be solved by this project is to keep IDP pupils in school. The town of Dédougou is the capital of the commune of the same name. The commune is the capital of the Boucle du Mouhoun region. It has 37 administrative villages and seven districts, with a population of 124,000. Ten villages in the town of Dédougou were attacked by lawless men (terrorists) and, as a result, pupils stayed away from schools, the source of knowledge transmission.
