On the 31st of January 2005, the European Commission granted 4.5 million euros towards UNICEF to help with Lack of Education in Somalia. UNICEF stated that they will use this money to promote pupil enrolment as well as to ensure quality teaching and learning under initiatives for the following 2 years. Also, part of the funds went to UNICEF’s Somalia Every Child Counts Initiative. This project ensured 80,000 more Somali children are able to go to school and thus acquire the necessary skills that will make them live healthier and happier lives. "UNICEF intends to use the EC grant to continue the in-service training of teachers, rehabilitate schools and equip them with adequate water and sanitation facilities," said Noel Ihebuzor, UNICEF Somalia Education Officer.

 

Moving on, a $65 million project in Nairobi to improve education sector in Somalia launched on 31st of August 2016. According to a document received by GO, USAID will improve access to quality basic education for all Somali children, including marginalized and out-of-school youth, improving girls’ enrollment to schools and training qualified female teachers. In the last four years, USAID committed more than $50 million to improve Somalis educational sector. It has assisted in the enrollment of 21,000 secondary school students, 86,000 out-of-school youth children, construction and rehabilitation of school facilities, training to qualify teachers, providing quality teaching and learning materials, and increasing educational opportunities for pastoralist children. The USAID assistant administrator, Linda Etim said during the launch ceremony “the U.S. Government is committed to support the Federal Government of Somalia's efforts to restore basic education for Somali children and strengthen the Ministry of Education’s Capacity to manage and lead the education sector.”
