The Konankro State Primary School (EPP), situated in the Bodokro sub-prefecture in the Gbêkê region of Côte d’Ivoire, has around 120 pupils. Despite its vital role in the education of local children, the school requires additional facilities to improve learning conditions and meet the needs of its pupil population. The lack of sufficient classrooms limits the school’s ability to accommodate pupils in suitable conditions.
Furthermore, the shortage of suitable accommodation for teachers makes it more difficult for them to settle in the area and may jeopardise their long-term commitment to the school. In light of this situation, the construction of three additional classrooms and two staff flats is a pressing priority. The completion of these facilities would help to improve the school environment, facilitate the work of teachers and provide pupils with better conditions in which to learn and succeed.
The project involves strengthening the infrastructure of the Konankro Primary School through the construction of three additional classrooms and two staff accommodation units for teachers.
The main objective is to
The planned works include the construction and fitting out of three classrooms, as well as the provision of two functional staff accommodation units for teachers. This infrastructure will provide a school environment better suited to the needs of pupils and teaching staff.
The direct beneficiaries will be the school’s approximately 120 pupils and its teaching staff. Pupils’ parents and the wider Konankro community will also benefit from the positive impact of the project. Through this initiative, we are seeking Action For Africa’s support to contribute to the development of education in rural areas and to ensure that the children of Konankro have a school environment more conducive to their success.

The school’s two buildings are unfinished and dilapidated; they have 4 and 2 classrooms, respectively, for a total enrollment of 357 students. There are more than 65 students per class. The desks and benches are broken and insufficient. Three or more students sit on each bench instead of two.
ESTABLISHED in 2000. I have been running this school for three years now. But there are no amenities for these students. Under the previous principal, enrollment was at a maximum of 90 students. When I arrived, after giving the school a few coats of paint, I had 120 students in the first year, then 180, and 187 this year.
The school originally planned (32 classrooms) was not fully completed due to a lack of funding. The current capacity (6 classrooms) is insufficient to meet the needs of the village and the surrounding areas.
