WHO ARE WE ?

Médecins du Monde is an international medical development NGO that is part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups, in Belgium and around the world. We want universal health coverage where everyone has access to care, without obstacles.

In Belgium and around the world, our projects are aimed at all people who do not have or no longer have access to health care. In particular, they are structured around five axes: people on the margins of society, children in vulnerable situations, women, migrants or displaced persons and victims of crises or conflicts.

To carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars:

• Care : provide real access to care for populations.
• Change : more than helping, we want to change things in the long term.
• Bearing witness : we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the authorities (local, regional and (inter)national) with facts, figures and realities.

Our projects follow a series of values ​​common to our entire organization: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.

CONTEXT

A member of the international network of Médecins du Monde, Médecins du Monde Belgique (MdM) is a medical NGO which works in favour of vulnerable groups in Belgium and around the world.

The main aim of the project “Children and Youth on Migration Routes in West and North Africa” ​​is to sustainably strengthen national and regional systems for protection, education and socio-economic integration to ensure protection and access to education for children and youth on the move (CYM). Implemented by a consortium led by Helvetas, Terre des Hommes and GIZ, in collaboration with ENDA, MAEJT, MdM, MMC, SSI and SSI-AO, this project, with a first phase in 5 pilot countries (Guinea, Mali, Morocco, Niger and Tunisia) is financed by the Swiss Confederation, represented by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs acting through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).

In its first phase (April 2022–March 2025), the project “Children and Youth on Migration Routes in West and North Africa” (EJRM project) aims to address the challenges faced by EJM in North and West Africa in a systemic and sustainable manner. The project’s mission is to improve support for EJM through a transformative effect on national and regional systems of protection, education, integration and opportunity creation.

The project aims to ensure that countries in West and North Africa have and implement a regulatory framework and capacities to ensure that children and young people on the move have protection, access to education and training in order to improve their chances and opportunities for a dignified life.
