Working Paper:  The impact and effectiveness of Accelerated Education Models on Girls and Girls' Education

This paper provides evidence on the impact and effectiveness of AEPs/GFMs in addressing the challenges of out-of-school children (OOSC) and youth across West Africa, using a gendered transformative approach. It explores the impact of these models on girls, particularly, on girls’ empowerment, transition and retention in school and general life outcomes based on evidence from an IDRC funded ‘out-of-school’ mapping and effectiveness study.
