Description
Auto-translated from SpanishAgency: UNICEF | Reference: LRPS-2026-9204224 | Type: Request for proposal
Within the framework of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, UNICEF promotes actions that guarantee the right of all children and adolescents to inclusive, equitable, and quality education, in safe and healthy environments.
Adequate school infrastructure conditions are fundamental to ensure the well-being and permanence of students, especially in rural areas and communities with higher levels of vulnerability. In line with the priorities of the National Human Development Plan 2022–2026 and the objectives of the UNICEF–Government of Nicaragua Cooperation Program 2024–2028, UNICEF will support the Ministry of Education to improve access to water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities, and kitchens for the preparation of school snacks in at least 17 educational centers in rural communities of the dry corridor departments of Nicaragua.
The dry corridor of Nicaragua, mainly comprising departments such as Chinandega, Madriz, Nueva Segovia, Matagalpa, and Jinotega, is a region that historically receives very low rainfall during the rainy season, which is why access to water is a challenge for communities throughout the year.
Agricultural activities and any other human activities, including domestic and school activities, are directly affected by the unavailability of water resources for prolonged periods, especially in years when the El Niño phenomenon impacts the region. The project aims to contribute to educational centers improving their access to water for consumption and cleaning, sanitation, hygiene for the educational community, and the preparation of school snacks, with infrastructure that contributes to better resource utilization, benefiting 3,598 children and adolescents, 120 teachers, and 10,794 community members, who will have adequate facilities.
