The goal of the ‘Getting Girls Back to School in East Africa’ project is to understand how Covid-19 has affected girls’ education and what near-term efforts are needed to ensure girls get back to school and learn.
The participatory process is to crowdsource from on-the-ground experiences of, and research by, East African organisations. With the recent (and impending) re-opening of schools in countries in the region, there is an opportunity to engage interested members of the Regional Educational Learning Initiative (RELI) network and a wider group of gender experts from the region in an explicit conversation about girls’ education in order to:
- Understand the current problems
- Identify gaps in our understanding
- Illuminate solutions
- Coordinate messages.
MannionDaniels is acting as the knowledge facilitator, to:
- Gather information: conduct semi-structured Key Informant Interviews and a rapid literature review to analyse and produce a summary report and one-page brief on current problems and research gaps in girls’ education in the context of Covid-19 in the region.
- Plan and convene two virtual workshops including: co-designing the convening to ensure a participatory, inclusive and virtual process and good facilitation, handle all production aspects, develop agenda, visual story-telling and infographics.
