The project aims to improve the academic success of vulnerable young and adolescent girls in secondary education in the Grand Sud region.

This capacity building programme is based on an education model that focuses on gender equality. It aims to improve governance, access and quality of education, including learning conditions.

Project beneficiaries include a total of 100,000 vulnerable young and adolescent girls in 170 secondary schools in the poorest communities of Grand Sud.
