A/HRC/13/19 information on how the Monegasque Cooperation had contributed to three forms of education: formal education, non-formal and literacy education, and vocational education. In formal education, the Cooperation’s methods were mainly the construction of schools: since 2002, the programme had built and equipped three primary schools (12 classrooms) in Morocco and three primary schools (nine classrooms) in Burkina Faso: as a result, 1,000 children had benefited from good-quality primary education. In the province of Oubritengua in Burkina Faso, the entire population of the area has access to primary education. Also in Burkina Faso, the Monegasque Cooperation was financing the construction and equipment of a college with the initial capacity of 200 students. In the underprivileged part of Western Cape province in South Africa, the Monegasque Cooperation supported the construction and rehabilitation of eight preschool facilities for the benefit of nearly 700 children. In terms of non-formal and literacy education, the Monegasque Cooperation had a combined project in the area to combat poverty, and support income-generating activities and access to microfinance programmes, which helped to improve literacy of its beneficiaries. For instance, since 2006, a literacy programme for women had been financed in cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to the benefit of 10 poor villages in Niger; in 2008, a project was set up in six Morocco regions to fight against school dropouts before the end of primary school, which could also help to improve literacy of mothers; more than 1,000 disabled children (sensorial, physical or mental) in Lebanon, Morocco, Madagascar and Mali had benefited from specialized education that allowed them to be reintegrated to the school system; in South Africa, a project incorporating sports in education was initiated in 2007 to the benefit of more than 1,000 juveniles from a poor region in Cape Town. In the area of vocational education, in Madagascar and Morocco, four programmes were implemented to help several hundreds of adolescents who lived in the street or were physically or mentally disabled to benefit from vocational training; in Mali, 50 young football players had benefited from a study-sports programme and 40 young adults had been trained and helped to create their businesses; in Lebanon, within the framework of a programme to defend the rights of minor detainees, around 60 detainees had benefited from a vocational education that would allow them to have a professional perspective.
