Promoting Equality in African Schools (PEAS) in Uganda has been honored for its project ¡°Empowering schools for adolescent girls.¡± This initiative builds safe, gender-responsive school environments to empower marginalized adolescent girls in rural Uganda. 

All PEAS-run schools have gender-responsive infrastructure that ensures girls¡¯ health, safety, privacy and dignity. Teachers are empowered to meet girls¡¯ needs through evidence-based, gender-transformative teacher training. A holistic range of co-curricular activities is also offered, including life skills trainings and girls¡¯ clubs.

PEAS has successfully adapted and scaled the project which now directly impacts almost 300,000 students annually in Ghana, Uganda and Zambia.

The Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) received recognition for its project ¡°Holistic support for girls to complete and succeed in secondary school in Zambia.¡± This project provides comprehensive support to girls, addressing barriers to education and promoting their academic success and overall well-being. 

It employs a three-pronged approach. The first engages schools and communities to implement a comprehensive support system which includes financial and social assistance for girls identified as being vulnerable to drop-out. The second focuses on enabling girls to transition from school into meaningful work. And the third focuses on partnering with government and policy makers to integrate these support structures into the national school system. 

Since 2001, CAMFED Zambia has supported 617,875 girls and young women in rural areas to enroll and complete secondary school with the skills needed to transition into work and leadership positions in their communities.
