From 2020 to 2023, GCI has been promoting gender-transformative education in eight focus countries in Africa—Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. GCI is jointly coordinated by UNGEI and UNESCO-IIEP and implemented through a multi-stakeholder partnership of education ministries, a civil society consortium, G7 donors, technical partners and AU/CIEFFA. UNICEF is a key technical and implementing partner within the initiative. As GCI transitions into its fourth year and kick-starts its second phase, UNICEF country offices will get the opportunity to learn from the initiative’s experiences and evidence and receive support to implement the GCI programmatic package.
