Empowering a New Generation of Adolescent Girls with Education in Nepal (ENGAGE)

ENGAGE addresses critical factors of marginalisation identified during participatory stakeholder consultations, including: socio-cultural norms that place a low priority on girls’ education; lack of awareness and support services for girls with disabilities or functional impairments; poorly equipped teachers/educators and educational institutions to support the needs of OOSM girls and girls with disabilities; and poor implementation of inclusive policies by local service providers and duty-bearers. Through a people-centred approach, ENGAGE enlists and empowers a support system of 600 peer girls, 100 teachers/educators, 90 BE/d and ME/d student teachers, and 30 International Volunteer Experts (IVEs) to play key roles within the intervention and become champions for girls’ education.
