Refugee youth survey

Refugee camp survey
To make sure the project will meet the needs of the refugee population, a survey of 824 youths (primarily between the ages of 15-25) was conducted at the Kounoungou and Toulum refugee camps in 2009. The survey allowed youth to express their views about education, vocational training, and activities that would make them more reliant.
