The Consortium of Civil Society Organizations for the Gender at the Centre Initiative (GCI) carried out a gender analysis of the responses to the specific needs of girls during the COVID-19 pandemic of the Ministry of National Education, Literacy and Promotion of National Languages (MENAPLN) of Burkina Faso. The analysis examined the Ministry’s response plan for educational continuity in the context of COVID-19 and the Education in Emergency National Strategy from the viewpoint of the specific needs of girls, which had been defined beforehand. The goal of the analysis was to identify strengths and weaknesses and formulate recommendations for possible revisions of the Education in Emergency National Strategy.
