The Community Outreach Burundi has organised a school outreach on drug abuse and GBV prevention at Muzinda Agro-food Technologies Girls’ High Bo-dying School. This regional school is based in the West of Burundi, Province Bubanza. The Outreach took part during the 16 days of activism on GBV. The activities included dancing, making songs and sketches, etc. which are all expressing the involvement of the students in the reduction of GBV at School.

Social and economic skills can play a key role in women and girls’ empowerment, contribute to drug abuse prevention and its related crime including GBV. However, socio-economic resilience calls upon skills in business and sustainable livelihood. That is the reason why COB, in collaboration with its partners, has organised 12 hours of online training in total (4 sessions of 3 hrs: 6th to 13th Dec. 2021) for Leaders of civil society organisations intervening in Drug prevention, women empowerment and youth livelihood development. They have been trained to train their members.
