World Education maintained a presence in Guinea from 1997 to 2011. Basing programs on its signature participatory approach, World Education worked in all eight of Guinea’s administrative regions to create sustainable change in good governance, formal and nonformal education, girls’ and women’s empowerment, child labor, human trafficking, conflict mitigation and management, livelihoods, youth, and institutional capacity building. World Education implemented the well-respected USAID/funded program, Community Participation in Primary Education for Equity and Quality program, which built on strong local interest in educational innovation.This program built 27 Guinean NGOs’ institutional capacity to implement effective community development activities through parent associations capacity building and literacy training. It also helped the NGOs strengthen parents’ associations to increase parents’ expectations for higher educational quality and increased access for their children. On USAID-funded democracy and good governance program, Faisons Ensemble, World Education was responsible for strengthening civil-society capacity and improving civic participation and advocacy. World Education also implemented a USAID-funded Conflict Mitigation and Management Program called Brighter Futures in the N’Zerekore Region. On this program, World Education built the institutional and technical capacities of traditional and community structures, including youth associations, to carry out conflict mitigation and resolution activities. World Education also implemented a US Department of Labor-funded program called Stop Exploitative Labor and Educate Children for Tomorrow (SELECT), which withdrew 5,322 children from situations of exploitative labor and trafficking, and prevented 4,497 children from entering into such situations. |
