Gender
Equality in Education Project (GEEP)
| |
The
Mid-Term Review of the CEF in 2005 indicated an urgent need
to mainstream gender across the programme, in project and partner
assessment, in budget work and in looking at the exclusion of
girls as it cuts across other categories of exclusion. This
requires moving beyond a focus on equal numbers of girls and
boys enrolling in school (parity of access) to looking at equality
and quality of the educational experience and learning outcomes.
The CEF is committed to encouraging national coalitions to link
with the women’s movement, and to looking at gender dimensions
in its own practice.
The Gender Equality in Education Project (GEEP) is a two year
project of capacity building for gender equality in the CEF,
its work and its outcomes. The project began in September 2006.

Equals
Newsletter
The CEF guest-edited the April 2007 issue of the
Beyond Access Project's Equals Newsletter.
This issue (no. 19) explores some of the ways in which civil
society organisations are working to ensure that gender is mainstreamed
through their own work, and in national and local education
plans and budgets. Feature articles look at the work that the
GEEP is doing to strengthen national level advocacy around gender
equality in education, and explore the use of budget monitoring
to ensure that financing for education is spent in a way that
is gender-equitable.
