Deadline: 25 September 2018
The British Embassy Cairo is accepting project proposals for the 2018/2019 financial year (April 2018-March 2019) on Girls Education.
The UK is supporting girl’s education across the world. While there is almost an equal number of boys and girls enrolling in schools in many countries, girls still face many barriers to learning and staying in school. And although lots of girls go to school, the number graduating and going on to join the job market is much lower. The same is true of climbing the career ladder: only 24% of senior management globally are women.
As well as education and career challenges, many are subject to even more challenges:
- violence against women
- child and forced marriage practices continue.
