A study on nomadic populations recently completed by UNICEF is forming the basis for adapting the various new educational resources and methods developed for formal primary education to access nomadic children and the unreached and hardest-to-reach Somali children in the six–to-14 year age group.

Developing and implementing activities in this area is an ongoing priority for UNICEF . The development and distribution of teacher modules/teachers' guides and training teachers for non-formal education is offering alternative, non-formal educational opportunities for children and out-of-school youth.
