🇬🇲 New project supported by FID: an innovative postal address system to improve waste collection and increase tax revenues in the Gambia. In The Gambia, the postal address system has shortcomings that could limit access to essential public services. In Kanifing, many households still lack access to regular waste collection services and property tax compliance is limited. To address these challenges, a research team from the University of Essex in partnership with Kanifing Municipal Council, is implementing an innovative solution using Plus Codes - an open source address system based on GPS coordinates. 📆 From February 2024 to February 2026, this FID-funded project will focus on 2 key objectives: 🚚 Optimise waste collection routes using GPS-enabled trucks to better serve disadvantaged neighbourhoods. 🗺️ Create maps of property tax non-compliance to guide targeted enforcement actions. The goal: to strengthen the social contract between the municipality and its residents by linking public revenues to improve access to essential services, particularly for marginalised communities. ➡️ Learn more about this project: https://lnkd.in/eaSXN2vc cc Victor Pouliquen

👫 Aujourd’hui, c’est la Journée mondiale de l'enfance : l’occasion de revenir sur le projet de Humana People to People India qui a pour objectif d’aider des enfants déscolarisés de 12 à 14 ans à reprendre le chemin de l’école en Inde. 🇮🇳 En Inde, malgré des progrès considérables en matière de scolarisation, près de 4% des enfants âgés de 11 à 14 ans ne sont pas scolarisés. Ces enfants sont particulièrement vulnérables en raison de leur exclusion du système, des pressions socio-économiques qu’ils subissent et de leur sous-alphabétisation. Humana People to People India (HPPI) intervient avec le programme Sambhavana, destiné à permettre à ces enfants de retourner à l’école. En phase pilote, HPPI teste 3 approches alternatives pour optimiser l’impact et assurer une expansion efficace du programme. Actuellement, 450 enfants bénéficient de cette initiative. 📹 Erfan Khan et Sumitra Yadav de HPPI nous en disent plus en vidéo. #JournéeMondialeDelEnfance
