The Gender at the Centre Initiative (GCI) aims to mobilize the advocacy, resources, and expertise needed to support governments in eight participating countries (Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone) to accelerate progress in gender equality, in and through education. Specifically, the Initiative will focus primarily on ensuring that country-owned interventions, strategies, and plans are financed, implemented, and monitored for sustainable results. To this effect, the draft GCI global Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) was refined in October 2020, establishing confirmed results statements and indicators. This  global baseline report (country-level baseline reports are available for each of the eight GCI participating countries, on the GCI webpage) summarizes key findings for each indicator, and highlights emerging implications for future GCI monitoring and reporting.
