Evaluation Report: Education for Crisis-Affected Girls in Northeast Nigeria

This is the end of project report from the endline evaluation of the GAC Education for Crisis-Affected Girls in Borno and Yobe States.

The Education for Crisis-Affected Girls (ECG) project is funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Save the Children (SC). The initiative lasted for two years and nine months (from 26 February 2020 until 30 November 2022), and aimed to improve the ability of crisis-affected girls to exercise their right to quality education and gender equality (GE) in two Nigerian states: Borno and Yobe. The programme’s focus is on promoting girls’ education and positive gender norms at the individual, household, community, school and state levels, to support girls in exercising their equal and inalienable rights to quality education and empowerment. Desired outcomes included: increasing attendance and retention of crisis affected girls in gender responsive and safe schools (Indicator 1100); improving gender responsive learning and teaching environments (Indicator 1200); and, improving enabling environments to support girls’ education (Indicator 1300). The project’s primary beneficiaries are crisis-affected girls (aged 6-14), who are in and out of school, and are at risk of not realizing their right to education.
