Save the Children (SC) and its partners are joining expertise, knowledge and commitment to implement an evidence-based, scalable, community-participative, inclusive and gender-sensitive approach to support over 60,000 out of school children (OOSC) or children at risk of dropping out of school (60% of them marginalised girls) and respond to the critical and urgent needs in the education sector. The proposed intervention will ensure that school-age children have access to education and will be in line with the UK government’s ambition to support the education sector through the new girls’ education focused programme. The overall aim is to deliver tangible results for girls’ education, ensure effective education policy reforms for the strengthening of the education system, and ensure equal access to quality, safe and inclusive education for all children. We aim to ensure effective coordination with CBOs, national, provincial authorities, NGOs, UN agencies and other donors, for greater impact, better resource management and measurable and sustainable outcomes. This will include close coordination with the FCDO SEMI health project. The overall impact of this intervention is to ensure that girls and boys (60% marginalised girls) in Kasaï are empowered with quality education, skills for productive livelihoods, and the ability to make choices over decisions affecting their lives.
