partenariat de ouagadougou

Le Partenariat de Ouagadougou a été lancé lors de la Conférence Régionale sur la Population, le Développement et la Planification Familiale tenue à Ouagadougou au Burkina Faso en février 2011 par les 9 gouvernements des pays francophones de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et leurs partenaires techniques et financiers pour accélérer les progrès dans l’utilisation des services de planification familiale au Bénin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinée, Mali, Mauritanie, Niger, Sénégal et Togo. Le Partenariat de Ouagadougou est basé sur deux principes. Il mise sur une meilleure coordination entre les bailleurs de fonds pour optimiser leurs soutiens aux pays et également sur une collaboration et coopération aux niveaux national et régional pour remédier au taux élevé des besoins non satisfaits en matière de planification familiale L’objectif principal du Partenariat est d’atteindre au moins 2.2 millions d’utilisatrices additionnelles de méthodes de planification familiale dans les neuf pays concernés d’ici 2020. Cet objectif peut paraître faible à vue d’œil mais il est en réalité très ambitieux vu le contexte des pays caractérisé par les faibles taux de prévalence contraceptive, les barrières socioculturelles, les systèmes de santé déficients, un engagement politique timide et peu de financement. L’ensemble des partenaires techniques et financiers soutiennent cette Initiative. Le groupe clé des partenaires est constitué de l’Agence Française de Développement (AFD), l’Agence Américaine pour le Développement International (USAID), la Fondation Bill & Melinda Gates et la Fondation William et Flora Hewlett, le Ministère Français des Affaires Etrangères, le Fonds des Nations Unis pour la Population (UNFPA), l’Organisation Ouest Africaine pour la Santé (OOAS), le Canada, le Royaume des Pays Bas, la Children Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), FCDO.

Building Assets, Asia

Building Assets is a global non-profit volunteer organization that develops viable solutions to reduce and mitigate conflict and the resulting dependencies by working to create self-reliant communities. We believe the evidence is clear that the most effective way to help build peace is through the provision of education and skills development for girls. We strongly believe in this commitment – that a girls' education is the most powerful tool for breaking the cycle of war and poverty. We work with our local partners to provide viable solutions with a focus on gender equality, justice and peace. A girl living in a conflict-affected area is 90 % more likely to be out of secondary school than her counterparts living in areas without unrest. Building Assets will work with local partners to provide safe and peaceful environments for young girl children to affected by conflict to study and learn beyond primary school. By providing a safe environment from primary to high school young girl children are less vulnerable to trafficking, sexual violence, or forced into early marriages. We believe that by contributing to their education by improving access through building schools, improving the quality of education through teacher training, vocational skills training, legal protection and psychosocial support and policy intervention we can improve student learning outcomes through gender-based programming. Building Assets will work with local groups and international organizations who will look at the impact of conflict through a gender lens in order to inform the development of more gender-sensitive and focused policies and programs that can help level the plying field ( hence the name ' Building Assets '), particularly through education. By providing access to education for these young girls at an early stage we can lay the foundation for a brighter future for the countries of SE Asia, and begin to prepare these young students to be the country's next future leaders.
