Educate HER is a national coalition of institutions and advocates committed to promoting gender equity and equality in education in Liberia. Our key strategies include, research and policy review, awareness and civic participation, capacity building of education stakeholders and key actors, and advocacy and policy engagement.
Our Vision: All girls have access to safe, quality education in Liberia.
One of the key strategies to achieving gender equity and equality in education is ensuring Sustainable Systems for Evidence- Based Decision Making. Lack of access to information poses a significant challenge to policy implementation and to effective civil society advocacy for this purpose. Improving the availability of and access to disaggregated data on girls’ education will better inform policy-making and implementation, including school policies and gender-specific programming. Making that data accessible to civil society organizations and the public will increase civic participation as it relates to holding officials accountable for girls’ education.
Since 2022, Educate HER has worked closely with the Department of Planning, Research, and Development to conduct quarterly data collection and analysis on girls’ education. We are committed to expanding that partnership to provide tangible supports that are in line with section 3.1 of the ESP and section 7 of the NPGE.
With financial support from Global Partnership for Education’s (GPE) programs, BACKUP Education through Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Education Out Load through Oxfam Danmark, we have partnered with the Ministry of Education to develop and manage the Liberia Girls Education Dashboard.
This dashboard is for stakeholders to access (gender-) disaggregated data needed to inform school policies and gender-specific programming and accelerate the National Policy on Girls’ Education implementation. Educate HER intends to ensure that data related to girls’ education in Liberia is collected in line with the Girls’ Education Policy, up to date, and publicly available for education stakeholders to review for program planning, education financing, and policy review.
The Educate HER Coalition strives to maintain already established relationships with the key stakeholders and build new relationships, where necessary. Educate HER is currently engaging policy makers, donors, and practitioners to develop and support strategies that will ensure that the 16 girl-centered indicators outlined within the National Policy on Girls Education (2021-2026) can provide clear gender transformative targets and outcomes for the Education Sector
