By 2026, more people, by age group, especially the most vulnerable, including refugees and IDPs, use quality basic social services equitably and sustainably to realize their full human potential and enhance their social and economic well-being (OUTCOME 2.1/UNSCDF).

People forced to flee or leave their homes like the refugees and IDPs particularly in situations of armed conflict like the case of Cameroon are generally subject to heightened vulnerability in several areas. Due to their vulnerability situation, they remain at high risk of physical attack, sexual assault, and abduction, and frequently are deprived of adequate shelter, food and health services. In the course of the year 2022, More vulnerable women and young women including refugees and IDPs’ social wellbeing were enhanced which enabled them to reach their full potentials. The provision of quality basic social services by UN WOMEN through the execution of Second Chance Education Project gave an opportunity for close to 2000 women and girls to realize their full potentials. This project leveraged partnerships, holistic approaches, and innovative technology that breaked current trends, and provided a comprehensive solution for marginalized young women who have missed out on education. In this light, women and girls including their families, local communities and societies the benefited from access to educational services, which are tailored not only to their needs as learners, but also to their future as earners through the pathways of going back to formal education, gaining employment or entrepreneur services.
