The UNESCO-HNA Partnership for Girls’ and Women’s Education is promoting holistic, multi-sectoral approaches that reinforce the capacity of the education system and foster cooperation with other sectors such as health and social welfare. It engages communities, including civil society and parents, in the promotion of adolescent girls’ education and strengthens community-based and flexible education for those hardest to reach. In Ethiopia, the project aims to build human and institutional capacities in three Higher Learning Institutions and 12 upper and secondary schools in gender-responsive pedagogy; improve adolescent girls’ life skills; and create a gender-responsive and safe learning environment at schools through community engagement. As part of the project, over 5,000 pre- and in-service teachers are building their capacity to teach with a gender lens; and more than 7,000 girls have been empowered to promote gender equality and girls’ rights through mini-media and girls’ club activities.
