Improving girls’ education outcomes is a national priority for the government of Somalia. To ensure an evidence-based approach for promoting girls’ education that’s grounded in regional best practices, GPE supported a visit between Somalia’s gender and inclusion officials to Rwanda.
During the visit, Somali officials learned about Rwanda’s processes for gender-responsive planning, budgeting and results tracking and how they translate into improved school environments for every child regardless of gender. The learning exchange focussed on increasing female participation in teaching, gender-sensitive and inclusive pedagogy in both in-service and pre-service teacher training, and gender-responsive budgeting and accountability.
