Project Information

Project Name:Maradi Youth
Project Description:
CARE's Maradi Youth project aims to develop a network of youth with suitable skills to ensure a viable civil
society in urban Maradi. Specifically, the project strives: a) to increase the knowledge of 120 boys and girls in Maradi
in human rights, civic participation in a democratic context and HIV/AIDS; b) to develop a role for the youth in
volunteer community awareness-raising activities; c) to provide opportunities to the youth of Maradi to develop skills that enable employment. The Maradi Youth Project uses a people-oriented strategy that facilitates facilitates a process whereby the rights and dignity of youth are recognized. The project works with a local NGO, Association Nigerienne pour le Bien Etre Familial, to establish a series of out-of-school educational and community activities for the youth of urban Maradi. ANBEF is responsible for project implementation and CARE's role is to support the NGO with technical advice and methodological support during the process. CARE works at transferring sufficient and effective skills to ANBEF in terms of planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation. It is envisioned that the support from CARE will be progressively reduced to allow ANBEF to become fully responsible for replication and scale-up.
