This support contributes to the deployment of new activities to improve pre-school education in Burkina Faso.
Thanks to this commitment alongside the Agence Française de Développement and the Monegasque Cooperation, Planète Enfants & Développement will be pursuing its activities to strengthen pre-school education in the country, with a particular focus on access to teaching tools, monitoring pupils' progress, gender equality and children's health.

We also want to ensure that as many teachers as possible have access to relevant teaching tools such as the digital platform BOP (Preschool Toolbox)a picture book developed by the French Ministry of Education in partnership with the NGO Asmae, and the establishment of agro-ecological school gardens. In addition to providing complementary meals in canteens, these gardens encourage language development in the youngest children.
To improve children's health, we also plan to work with schools on the preparation of balanced meals by training canteen staff, and on hand hygiene for children by installing fun washing stations.
