The Ministry of Education of Eritrea has embraced the Kit by dedicating the Secondary Education Unit and the Life Skills Curriculum Panel to lead and oversee the implementation of the Kit and to promote adolescent development and participation through school clubs. 44 schools have benefited from the Kits and are reporting positive responses from the students and the school communities alike. These schools have developed action plans that use resources from the Kit.
UNICEF Eritrea has distributed 100 Kits to 100 schools and used the Kit to train 353 school club facilitators, directors, and supervisors to equip them with the necessary skills to conduct activities and support training of new facilitators in their schools. The school clubs are now up and running, active and technically equipped to engage adolescents by facilitating intergenerational dialogue and behaviour change on prominent social issues such as child marriage, violence against children, female genital mutilation/cutting, menstrual hygiene management, immunization and nutrition.
