Purpose

The project aims to improve the academic success of vulnerable young and adolescent girls in secondary education in the Grand Sud region. The project supports the Quality Education Program in Haiti (PEQH) implemented by the World Bank and the Ministry of National Education and Professional Training (MENFP). This capacity building programme is based on an education model that focuses on gender equality. It aims to improve governance, access and quality of education, including learning conditions. Project activities include: 1) strengthening the governance of the MENFP, through a gender-disaggregated data management system and evidence-based quality control, ensuring that schools provide inclusive education in appropriate facilities; 2) training school staff to deliver quality inclusive education and prevent gender-based violence; 3) engaging school communities in the management of school improvement plans and engaging girls' and boys' school clubs to promote girls' rights and combat stigma. Project beneficiaries include a total of 100,000 vulnerable young and adolescent girls in 170 secondary schools in the poorest communities of Grand Sud.
