• Cultural obstacles, gender norms• Pregnancy

Zambia = 33%; Malawi = 24%• Limited access to SRH services and information

ChallengesSupply-side
• Early learning opportunities• School facilities – WASH, accessible• Low education budgets• Ineffective curriculum• Teachers – insufficiently trained,
lack of female teachers, time on task• Insufficient school supplies, learning
materials• Inadequate implementation of
policies i.e. gaps between policy and practice
Demand-sideBehavioral and social factors• Attitudes towards education• Perceptions of relevance or
value of education• Esteem issues• Community support for
education• Violence and abuse in and
around schools
These challenges/factors often exist in combination!!

Integrated approaches: Uganda• Strategy for Girls Education emphasizes education for girls as a basic
human right to be upheld by all stakeholders and duty bearers• Strategy is a tool utilized in different sectors within their different
mandates as they relate to girls education• Strategy requires inter-ministerial approach
• Education• Gender Labour and Social Development• Health• Finance Planning and Economic Development• Water and Environment
• Emphasizes partnerships between public and private sectors

A Socio-ecological perspective: Key Ideas
• Factors at multiple levels affect human behavior
• Essential to understand and address barriers/constraints and drivers to change at multiple levels
• Unrealistic to expect individuals to change their behavior if barriers at higher levels are not removed
• Interventions should address relevant levels of the SEM as possible
• Communication can help to overcome barriers at each level
Policy/Enabling Environment
(national, state, local laws)
Individual (knowledge, attitudes,
behaviors)

In short …..
While the girl child is supposed to be in school and learning, her ability to do so is determined to a large extent by the parent, social environment, policies and regulations that create either barriers or enablers to her access and learning
