Child participation: Guinea-Bissau's quiet revolution
Plan supported child participation groups are getting things done in their communities, whilst improving relationships between children and adults.
Plan Guinea-Bissau
Plan has been operating in Guinea-Bissau since 1995, helping poor children to access their rights to education, health, sanitation and protection.
Our programmes benefit more than 21,000 children in 600 communities.
Currently, we are focusing on decreasing school drop-out and repetition rates for children in our programme areas. This work ranges from providing notebooks for school children to helping communities build 15 public and community schools.
