The Girls’ Education Challenge announced a new funding window in 2017, Leave No Girl Behind (LNGB). LNGB focuses on highly marginalised adolescent girls aged between 10 and 19 who are out of school/work by funding targeted ‘catch up’ programmes providing literacy, numeracy and skills for life and work. There is a strong focus on accelerating girls’ learning outcomes so that they achieve functional literacy and numeracy, and acquire relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for life and work.
LGNB includes integrated research and evaluation to ensure uptake of GEC-generated evidence to drive policy and learning at all stages of a girl’s education journey.
Our role
As thought leaders in the MEL sphere, Itad is providing independent expert technical advice to GEC on the relevance, merit and appropriateness of existing learning outcome targets and the proposed evaluation approach for the projects under the LNGB funding window.
