Paper long abstract:
This paper explores the extent to which FCDO’s Girls’ Education Challenge has promoted girls’ agency and choice in decision-making for marginalised out-of-school adolescent girls in Ghana, Kenya and Nepal. It focuses on projects aiming to support these girls to continue their education through alternative pathways and transition to work. Using a participatory ‘Rivers of Life’ approach, it captures changes in their agency and choice due to participation in the programme. It highlights if and how these changes have affected girls’ engagement in wider decision-making in their households and communities.
