This sixth study in our evaluation of the Girls’ Education Challenge Programme Phase II (GEC II) seeks to evidence and understand the relative costs and benefits of targeting the most marginalised girls in the GEC.
In setting out this study, our evaluation team asked a range of questions to find out information including the actual cost of educating the most marginalised girls, the key benefits of this education, the relative benefits and costs for different types of marginal girls, and more.
To answer the evaluation questions, this study focused on in-depth analysis of three case study projects from the Leave No Girl Behind (LNGB) window of the GEC:
- CHANGE: Improving Access to Education in Ethiopia for Most Marginalised Girls in Ethiopia
- Transformational Empowerment for Adolescent Marginalised Girls in Malawi and
- Accelerating Life Skills, Literacy and Numeracy of Married Adolescent Girls in Nepal.
This study examines the value for money of interventions reaching the most marginalised girls in the LNGB component of the GEC Phase II programme. The findings are specific to in-depth case studies of three out of a total 14 projects, which were found to be broadly representative of the overall LNGB portfolio.
