? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

The project took a community-based approach to improving girls’ education and introduced strategies in five additional regions in Tanzania, including peri-urban areas. An individualised tracking system meant that the project could follow each girl from the start of the project through secondary school and beyond, tracking her progression, attendance and learning, and ensuring responsiveness in the support she received.
