Lessons from piloting and testing scalable approaches to accelerated education in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania

This policy brief presents programming and policy lessons drawing on the Back2School experiences in piloting and testing interventions on accelerated education programs in the rural contexts of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. It outlines the intervention approaches and strategies used in these rural contexts to improve the enrolment, retention, and school completion of rural out-of-school girls. It similarly documents programming and policy lessons and concludes with key policy messages and recommendations that could inform the future design of such projects.
