P006785001: The project addresses the barriers that often prevent girls and women from attending and staying in school in targeted regions of Nigeria.

The project improves girls' access to education by: providing: (1) 2,500 vouchers targeted to vulnerable adolescent girls to cover school fees; (2) conducting enrolment campaigns; and (3) engaging traditional community and religious leaders on girls’ education.

The project improves the quality of schools by: (1) establishing accelerated learning programs for 5,700 students (2,850 girls; 2,850 boys); (2) training teachers on gender-responsive pedagogy; and (3) supporting school-based management committees and local education authorities to implement action plans to make schools safer and more girl-friendly based on girls’ feedback.

The main beneficiaries are 22,180 girls and 20,920 boys from 10 to 19 years old taught through informal and formal schools; 700 teachers (of which half are women) of both formal and informal schools; 700 traditional and religious leaders; and 120 education government officials.

P006785002: This portion of the larger project works to respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, through developing and disseminating information, education, and communication materials, including SMS and pre-recorded radio messages promoting prevention at the community level. This project also aims to procure radio for girls and vulnerable families to ensure that girls can continue with their remote learning. Previously planned community engagement activities have been revised to sensitize key groups to COVID-19 issues. As well, construction and rehabilitation activities have been modified to include hand-washing stations in formal and informal school locations.

This project aims to empower adolescent girls and young women in the Kalobeyei settlement and the Kakuma refugee camp, and host communities of the Turkana district of Kenya. The project works to improve the enrolment and retention of girls in upper primary and secondary school levels in Kalobeyei and surrounding communities, and to provide gender responsive job market-based skills training in Kalobeyei and Kakuma. The project works towards building girl-friendly school environments, providing targeted learning support to adolescent girls and young women, and generating parent and community support for girls’ education.
Project activities include: (1) improving the pedagogical skills of approximately 180 teachers in 15 schools (8 host and 7 refugee) to ensure that lessons are planned and delivered in a quality, gender-responsive and inclusive manner, and in a safe classroom environment; (2) providing remedial lessons that provide additional study time to approximately 2,800 adolescent girls and young women at risk of dropping out due to poor performance; (3) engaging parents, community (particularly men and boys), and religious leaders to foster safe and supportive environments for girls’ education and to mitigate the risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV); (4) delivering multi-media campaign on gender equitable participation in skills training and trades; and (5) supporting young women through mentorship programs that support life-skills.
It is expected that the project will directly benefit 6,515 girls, adolescent girls and young women (between the ages of 12 and 25) and, indirectly, 42,465 beneficiaries (including 6,798 boys enrolled within the targeted schools).
