The Supporting Adolescent Girls’ Education (SAGE) project targets up to 13,200 highly marginalised, out-of-school adolescent girls in 11 districts across Zimbabwe to achieve improved learning outcomes and assist them with transition into formal education, training or employment.
Through a consortium of faith-based, academic and private sector partners, the project focuses on providing high-quality, accelerated, non-formal education based from 88 accessible and girl-friendly Community-Based Learning Hubs (CBLHs).
As a gender transformative education programme, SAGE seeks to work at multiple levels to promote and improve education for girls by tackling the root causes of gendered social and economic barriers and to create an enabling environment for transforming unequal gender norms.
The programme is implemented under the oversight of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) and seeks to operationalise their Non-Formal Education (NFE) Policy which promotes alternative pathways to increasing access to quality education for marginalised learners.
