This project aims to achieve equitable, quality education for girls and boys, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable in developing countries, as well as in conflict, crisis-affected and humanitarian settings. This project supports the implementation of UNGEI’s Strategic Priorities 2023 to 2027. As a leader in gender equality and education, UNGEI works to increase awareness and participation of decision-makers in gender-responsive education sector planning, and increase the data available to support the need for gender-responsive quality education in low-income countries. Project activities include: (1) championing feminist expertise, leadership and partnerships in the education sector including girls’ and women’s rights movements; (2) engaging Ministries of Education (MoEs) and other education actors (including CSOs) to commit to and deliver gender transformative education policies and programmes; (3) catalyzing new strategies to protect and extend gains on addressing harmful gender norms and practises in and through education; (4) Leading and bringing together global and local expertise on gender and education to generate and improve utilization of data and evidence; and (5) Increasing support to/leadership of women in Ministries of Education, including teachers, principals and school staff.
