IRC’s Every Adolescent Girl Empowered and Resilient (EAGER) project will target up to 32,500 of Sierra Leone’s most marginalised, adolescent girls. This will include girls who are pregnant or young mothers, girls who are married, those who have been affected by Ebola, those affected by violence, and those who are engaged in income-generating activities and/or cannot afford the cost of schooling.
The project will support girls in three cohorts which will include those who have never been to school or who have dropped out early, with a specific focus on girls with disabilities. EAGER aims to improve learning and support girls to transition primarily to vocational and professional training, self-employment or other employment, and where feasible, formal/non-formal education.
