Gabon obtains 43 billion FCFA from UNESCO for five projects

The Director-General of Unesco has just approved five requests submitted by the Gabonese National Commission for Unesco, under the Participation Program (PP) for 2020-2021.

As part of the strengthening of its partnership with Gabon, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has allocated an envelope of nearly 43 million CFA francs to the country. This sum is intended for the realization of 5 projects within the framework of Unesco’s participation program for the financial year 2020-2021.

These funded projects are four in number. A training workshop for heads of establishments, focal points of the Network and the national federation of Unesco clubs (Fenacu) on the theme: “Traditional mechanisms for preventing violence in schools in Gabon” (10,268,759 FCFA) ;
