Wherever the programme is implemented, local associations, child protection committees, NGOs and national, regional and local authorities are active partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the PACOPE-SPEs, SOS Villages d&#8217;Enfants Monde and its partners support families and communities and, even if the contexts vary from one region to another, they have the same objective: to improve the situation of families for greater resilience, to continuously strengthen the community, to support young people on their way to employment, to implement child protection at all levels to enable them to develop in a healthy, protective and supportive environment and to play an active role. The PACOPE-SPE are included in the 4th Framework Agreement (2022-2026) that the Luxembourg NGO SOS Villages d&#8217;Enfants Monde signed in February 2022 with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MAEE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In Guinea, the PACOPE-SPEs support 3,926 children and young people* in the communities of Kankan, Conakry, Lab\u00e9 and N&#8217;Z\u00e9r\u00e9kor\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">*Target groups evaluated by the end of 2022<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Initial situation of the family:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the death of her husband, Fatoumata* moved to N&#8217;Z\u00e9r\u00e9kor\u00e9 with her 7 children (4 girls and 3 boys). At the time, the family&#8217;s only income came from her small business selling hair locks and palm oil on the market. It was difficult to meet the daily needs (food, school supplies, etc.) and the children could not attend school regularly. Faced with this situation, the family was admitted to the family strengthening programme in 2014 (and then to PACOPE from 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Evolution of the situation:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, Fatoumata could benefit from direct support, allowing her to provide for her children&#8217;s basic needs (food, health, schooling). In 2017, she joined a Village Savings &amp; Credit Association (VSCA) where she is the treasurer. She was thus able to benefit from training on the methodology of solidarity savings and credit and on the management of the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In four years, thanks to her integration into the VSCA, Fatoumata has developed her Income Generating Activities (IGAs), going from one in 2017 to four in 2021, which today ensure her financial autonomy and provide employment for ten people in the community. The combination of her role in the VSCA and her IGAs creates a real virtuous circle for Fatoumata as the diversification of her sources of income has allowed her to multiply the value of her credits by 8, which leads her to invest even more in her IGAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"524\" data-id=\"1908871\" src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_quartier_nakoyakpala.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1908871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_quartier_nakoyakpala.png 819w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_quartier_nakoyakpala-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_quartier_nakoyakpala-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_quartier_nakoyakpala-600x384.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"597\" data-id=\"1908873\" src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_grand_marche_nzerekore.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1908873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_grand_marche_nzerekore.png 815w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_grand_marche_nzerekore-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_grand_marche_nzerekore-768x563.png 768w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_grand_marche_nzerekore-600x440.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"456\" height=\"560\" data-id=\"1908868\" src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_vente_boisson.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1908868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_vente_boisson.png 456w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_vente_boisson-244x300.png 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"493\" height=\"590\" data-id=\"1908867\" src=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_location_chaises.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1908867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_location_chaises.png 493w, https:\/\/sosve.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/boutique_location_chaises-251x300.png 251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Fatoumata&#8217;s new income-generating activities allow her to improve the living conditions of her children considerably: Two shops, a drinks stand and a chair rental shop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:67px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#def2ff\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><strong>Village Savings and Credit Associations (VSCAs):<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>VSCAs are groups of community members who meet regularly to better manage their money.
