A Bauchi-based civil society organisation, the Young Leaders Network, in partnership with the Malala Fund, has organised a Bi-annual Stakeholders’ Forum in support of the girl-child education under the Strengthening Advocacy for Girls’ Education (SAGE) Project.
The groups at a forum emphasised that the girl-child education faces challenges, and these challenges can only be collectively overcome. The forum brought together key stakeholders from Tafawa Balewa, Gamawa, and Ganjuwa Local Government Areas to find lasting solutions to the problems hindering girls’ access to quality education. Speaking during the event, the Programme Manager for Education at the Young Leaders Network, Charity Solomon, assured that the forum was about to take some decisive actions.
While emphasising the organisation’s commitment to helping communities find real solutions so that every girl has the chance to learn, grow, and succeed, she noted, “The Strengthening Advocacy for Girls’ Education Project, a community-driven initiative, is focused on increasing access to quality education for girls. “We will continue to host such forums in the aforementioned LGAs, collaborating with stakeholders, especially the Ministry of Education, to address persistent challenges. With continued collaboration, the hope is that these efforts will create lasting change and help more girls in Bauchi State stay in school and reach their full potential,” she added.
