Description:

P006726001: The project addresses the barriers that prevent girls between the ages of 6 and 14 from attending and staying in school in targeted regions in Nigeria. The project improves girls' access to education by: 1) engaging with decision-makers in households as well as community and religious leaders; and 2) providing conditional financial support through vouchers and cash transfers to vulnerable households to enrol 10,000 girls and keep them in school. The project improves the quality of schools by: 1) recruiting and training 180 volunteer teachers, particularly women, within communities and transitioning them to the government payroll; 2) supporting 60 school improvement plans to make them more girl-friendly; and 3) training 600 teachers on gender-responsive teaching and classroom management. The main beneficiaries are 24,042 girls aged 6-14, with a particular focus on internally displaced persons, out-of-school girls, and married adolescent girls. The project also benefits about 19 018 boys aged 6-14. P006726002: This portion of the larger project works to respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, through supporting the targeted states in printing and distributing information, education, and communication materials on COVID-19 health precaution measures. The project aims to procure solar powered radios to support remote learning for children’s reading circles, which is predominantly comprised of girls. The project also works with state teachers to ensure that the radio-based lessons are being delivered in mathematics, English, and basic science.
