Alternative basic education for Somali pastoralists

The USAID project Alternative Basic Education for Pastoralists (2015–20) aims to expand provision of education services in the Jubaland State of Somalia. It uses a flexible calendar and timetables and offers temporary learning space along migration routes, mobile libraries and interactive audio instruction.
