Implementing Agency Ministry of Community Development and Social Services (MCDSS), Ministry of Gender (MoG), Ministry of General Education (MoGE) Proposed Development Objective(s) Parent The project development objective is to support the Government of Zambia to increase access to livelihood support for women and access to secondary education for disadvantaged adolescent girls in extremely poor households in selected districts. Components Keeping Girls in School Supporting Womens Livelihoods Institutional Strengthening and Systems Building The proposed AF and restructuring aim to deepen and widen the human capital impacts of GEWEL by expanding coverage and providing more complementary support to poor women and girls. This will be achieved by (a) financing the scale-up of the KGS and SWL components to additional beneficiaries, (b) introducing a subcomponent under the KGS component on strengthening social cash transfers (SCTs) to help reduce the dropout of girls from school due to economic reasons, (c) introducing a more concerted approach to mitigating and responding to the risks of GBV for women and girls in project areas; and (d) enhancing the focus on strengthening core social protection systems to better ensure the effective delivery of this support. To further maximize the impact, the GEWEL will coordinate closely the Bank’s human development projects. |
