The advances that Malawi made in promoting girl’s education are celebrated in this blog. These were gained through an advocacy campaign: “At the heart of the efforts in advocating for the government to prioritize education at systems level, was a call for better infrastructure, improved learning environments and, crucially, the need to accommodate the specific needs of girls.”
One of the main learnings was the importance of adequate washrooms for girls, especially girls once they reach puberty.
“The result is a more supportive and inclusive education environment, particularly for girls in rural areas who previously had limited access to school facilities and resources.”
