GEC Project Resources - Strategies and Guidance

On this page you can find a selection of strategies and guidance documents developed and used by GEC projects when implementing interventions aimed at improving education systems and girls’ transition, keeping girls safe, reaching the most marginalised girls, training teachers and facilitators, and working with communities.

The strategies and guidance may be of interest to those implementing girls’ education programmes or programmes that include a component on girls’ education. They may also be relevant to donors and ministries looking at what works when working with girls, parents, schools and communities to promote girls’ education.
