Girls CHARGE: Collaborative Harnessing Ambition and Resources for Girls’ Education 2014 Commitments and Future Engagement
Last year at CGI, Secretary Clinton announced the launch of No Ceilings to evaluate the progress women and girls have made since 1995 and to take action to help women and girls become full participants in their economies and societies around the globe. We know that tremendous progress has been made in education — particularly in getting girls enrolled in primary school. Yet enrollment is just the first step, and despite tremendous progress, girls around the world still face persistent challenges to pursuing their education – the quality and safety of which are not always guaranteed. At the 2014 CGI annual meeting, No Ceilings has joined with the Center for Universal Education at Brookings Institution to create CHARGE — the Collaborative for Harnessing Ambition and Resources for Girls Education — a global collective of public, private, and grassroots organizations working to take on the next set of challenges in global girls’ education.
In 2014, the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution committed to bring together leading public, private and civil society organizations from across the globe to form a collaborative initiative focused on advancing solutions in girls’ education that have the greatest potential for sustainable impact. Through the CHARGE initiative, partner organizations will align individual efforts for improving girls’ education to five research-informed priorities:
- Ensuring that girls enter and stay in school through secondary education.
- Ensuring that schools are safe and facilities are girl-friendly.
- Improving the quality of learning opportunities for girls.
- Supporting girls’ transition from secondary school to post-secondary school and the workforce.
- Supporting leaders in developing countries to help catalyze change in girls’ education.
