AFRICA: RESEARCH PROJECT TO GET RURAL GIRLS IN ETHIOPIA, KENYA AND TANZANIA BACK INTO SCHOOL

According to UNESCO, over 97 million children in Africa are out of school, and 52 million are girls, and this number continues to grow with the rising demand for education. Still, these millions of children face an uncertain future as their economic and social prospects become daunting. The Graça Machel Trust has partnered with the African Child Policy Forum (ACPF), the Diocese of Musoma, and the Pan African Research Services (PARS) to conduct Back2School research, which has been funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
