The project aims to improve the capacity of girls and boys with disabilities, community, state, and national level actors to increase access to quality secondary education and graduation levels. At the national level, cash transfers are provided to girls and boys with disabilities and catch-up classes to help them successfully (re)integrate and complete grades 7 to 12. Also, the project seeks to strengthen the education system at national and subnational level for better service provision, national budget allocation and accountability. It also informs, educates, and motivates community members (girls, boys, women and men, parents, teachers and community leaders) to promote quality education completion, with an emphasis for children with disabilities who face increased discrimination. Scalable geographic pilots are designed to improve life skills education for children with disabilities with tailored support to schools and teachers to address discrimination and meet their specific needs.

Financial and non-financial products directly targeting the needs of youth, and marginalized and vulnerable young women in particular, will be developed to further enable them to apply the skills that they’ve gained and start a new business or expand pre-existing enterprises. Finally, to ensure gender-equal financial inclusion, all financial services and products offered through the project will be reviewed with a gender-lens to ensure equal access and benefits for young women.

It also aims to support gender equality and on-site learning in partnerships with Indigenous organizations in Canada, such as VIDEA and Indigenous Clean Energy.
