Description
Conceived in collaboration with the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and the Pakistani Ministry of Education and Culture, following the COVID response, the project aims to improve access to schools, of communities and young people in remote areas of Pakistan by promoting better learning opportunities through an Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI) approach, which includes educational content of various kinds (topics related to nutrition, maternal and child health, children, culture, disability, environment, institutions, global citizenship, disaster risk reduction, etc.) and information on Pakistan's tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The project is aimed at children attending primary school (grades 1 to 5 in the Pakistani system), but also at their families and the community, of which they are part. Education is the focal sector, but other sectors such as culture, health and communication and information have also been integrated into the project implementation framework. The project responds to the needs in the education sector identified in the six most marginalised and isolated districts of Pakistan, which lack digital technology and access to television and radio distance learning programmes introduced by the Pakistani government during the COVID-19 pandemic. UNESCO has a geographical presence in the districts mentioned above, including the 6 districts proposed under the project, with local implementing partners (NGOs) who have been working with UNESCO since 2016 and have a grassroots presence and connections with local communities.
