BACKGROUND :
The ‘Education Plus’, 2021-2025 is a game-changing initiative that will be launched on the margins of the 2022 AU Mid-Year Summit to empower adolescent girls and young women and achieve gender quality in sub-Saharan Africa. The Initiative will focus on accelerating HIV prevention among adolescent girls and young women, among the other multiple social and economic benefits which countries stand to gain from heeding the call for political action and leadership as embedded in the Education Plus’, 2021-2025. This also calls for stepped-up policies and investments that work best, not only for adolescent girls and young women but also for countries’ social and economic growth and prosperity. It places girls at the center, from a holistic, human rights-based, and gender-responsive approach. It focuses on enabling all girls to complete a free, quality secondary education—a major protective factor against HIV; and through secondary education systems, enabling their access to a core essential package of supports and services for their safety, health, social and economic inclusion as they navigate their passage into adulthood.
The Initiative has 16 front runner champion countries – Benin, Cameroun, Gabon, Lesotho, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Ghana, Ethiopia, Eswatini, Uganda, Malawi, Senegal, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Namibia.
JOURNALISTS ARE INVITED TO COVER THE SIDE EVENT ON 17 JULY IN LUSAKA, ZAMBIA.
