World Bank, experts seek increased funding for IDP children’s education

The World Bank has urged increased funding for the education, healthcare, and nutrition of internally displaced children in Nigeria, emphasizing the long-term benefits of such investments. This call was made during a panel session at the Africa Social Impact Summit in Lagos, where experts highlighted the need to ensure access to quality education and essential services for children affected by conflict. Nigeria currently hosts around 3.7 million internally displaced persons due to a decade-long insurgency, particularly in the North-East. According to the World Bank, investing in early childhood development can break cycles of poverty and improve societal stability. Panelists included representatives from various organizations focused on child development, including the Nigeria Coalition on Early Childhood Development in Crisis and international NGOs like Plan International.
