This financial year we have committed £220,000 to support scholarships programmes in Sudan, particularly for women, and £300,000 to UNICEF for schools rehabilitation and teacher training in the Nuba Mountains. We are also planning a significant intervention in the education sector in government and SPLM/A controlled conflict affected areas.
