Initiators
ESUMA
Education has been identified as key to reducing long-term poverty in Nunavik. In response to this, KRG spearheaded the ESUMA program through its Sustainable Employment Department. This initiative is funded by the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale (MESS) and the Minister of Education and Higher Education (MEES) in order to support actions that fight poverty and social exclusion.
The mission of ESUMA is to create a Nunavik-wide synergy and enhance actions around education for all learners to persevere toward their success.
