The United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative (UNGEI) is a
multi-stakeholder partnership committed to improving the quality and
availability of girls’ education and contributing to the empowerment of
girls through transformative education. UNGEI, as a designated flagship
of Education for All (EFA), strives to support governments and the
international community to deliver on the gender-related EFA goals and
education related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on achieving
universal primary education and gender parity in primary and secondary
education. With the 2015 deadline to the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) fast approaching, UNGEI firmly believes that the immediate
education priority should be a focus on all girls learning and
achieving.
One of UNGEI’s priorities for action is the identification of
evidence based solutions and the sharing of good practice in promoting
girls’ education and gender equality as part of its larger knowledge
management function. UNGEI aims to act as a knowledge broker to
strengthen a collective understanding of effective programming for
girls’ education; and provide partners and stakeholders with access to
tools and good practices, and foster greater connectivity between
individuals and organizations working in the field of girls’ education
and gender equality. UNGEI is committed to support regional and
national partnerships to identify, document, share and promote good
practice.
The proposed UNGEI Fund for Documentation of Good Practice
Case Studies in Girls’ Education and Gender Equality (UNGEI Good
Practice Fund) is designed as a catalytic fund to strengthen the
evidence base through identification of good practice at the regional
and country level. It aims to document a range of proven and promising
interventions that have increased educational options and opportunities
for girls. These may range from increasing access to educational
opportunities to those relating to gender responsive teaching and
learning approaches, improved gender relations in schools and education
systems, and enhanced girls’ learning and achievement, including
non-cognitive measures relating to self-esteem and leadership.
