This will be achieved by: reducing harmful social norms and other gender-related barriers affecting girls' education in terms of demand, access and retention, through a communication approach based on interactive radio; improving formal and non-formal gender-sensitive education services for girls and boys; and improving public sector performance in the provision of equitable, gender-sensitive and evidence-based education services, and ensuring the consolidation and integration of the results from the other two components. Strategies will be adopted to reduce barriers to girls' education, including interactive radio programmes, listening groups in which participants can safely express themselves, digital innovations, etc. The project will support the vocational training of girls who can no longer access primary education and will provide remedial classes for girls with learning difficulties.
