An evaluation of phase VI of the Children and Youth Fund (FEJ) identified adjustments and recommendations as well as a significant need for a new project.In addition, the consequences of the security situation, threatened social cohesion and rising inflation are crucial issues.These findings have given rise to the present "Children and Youth Fund - Protection of Children and Training of Young People (PEFJ)" project,which aims to protect vulnerable boys and girls and improve the training and economic autonomy of young people. In addition, the new PEFJ project must continue to promote the economic empowerment of women and the educational success of girls by awarding study and vocational training grants.

The ++main objective++ of the project is to help improve the institutional, legal and social framework for the protection of vulnerable children and to promote the training and empowerment of young people.

The ++specific objective++ of the project is to improve the protection of vulnerable girls and boys and the training and economic autonomy of young people. The context of the project is marked by a tense security situation in most regions of Burkina Faso and the displacement of people within the country.

The ++intervention target group++ is the young and vulnerable rural population and their family environment in the intervention zones and, more broadly, the general public in Burkina Faso. However, more attention should be paid to young people and internally displaced children. The same applies to girls, so that they benefit first and foremost from school grants, and so that the interventions enable young people and women to improve their financial independence. On the other hand, young men should preferably be the main beneficiaries of vocational training grants.

Within the framework of the PEFJ, all the ++activities++ are grouped into the following components:

• Component 1: The implementation of communication measures at national and local level to improve the visibility of actions financed by the Children and Youth Fund.
• Component 2: Building and equipping social infrastructure for children and young people (including communal social services)
• Component 3: Promoting vulnerable children and young people, in particular through study grants, vocational training and measures to create income-generating activities (IGAs) for families with vulnerable children and IDP families.
• Component 4: The implementation of support and advisory measures for local authorities, technical services and civil society players in setting up and implementing specific projects carried out under components 2 and 3
