Civil strife in the region have led to a deterioration in the formal education system of the Central African Republic (C.A.R.). In January 2003, UNICEF committed funds to the sum of US$15,000 to help finance the construction of 15 primary schools and the training of 51 teachers within the South-Western region of Boda to promote girls’ education. However, unless plan are undertaken to address the high prominence of child labour in the country’s diamond industry, low primary school enrollment figures will not improve.
